All Systems Operational

About This Site

Due to the redundant nature of our anycast infrastructure, DNSFilter services including DNS layer security, content filtering and resolution are always available. In the event of regional downtime, DNSFilter automatically switches to the nearest data center with no manual intervention. By design, our core services will not be disrupted by planned or unplanned outages.

As such, via our status page, DNSFilter strives to provide complete transparency for the current and past status of our service.
