Becoming DNSFilter

We thought of going with a clever startup name—you know, adding "ly" or "io" to some noun evocative of freshness. Maybe we'd drop a vowel or two and go all lowercase. Instead, we decided to keep it simple. Straightforward.

As an essential tool, DNSFilter is named for exactly what it does. We filter DNS requests, sorting the good from the bad to help our users get through their work days feeling more secure.
