Safe Search Supported Search Engines

When activating Forced Safe Search in Policy, ScoutDNS forwards all requests for supported search engines to their restricted search domains. Only search engines that support domain-based restriction controls can be included.

 

Safe Search will disable non-supported search engine domains. You can allow specific search engines through the whitelist.

 

 

 

 

 

At this time the following search engines are supported in ScoutDNS Forced Safe Search:

• Google
  
• Bing
  

 

As more search engines support domain restriction options, we will seek to add them to our system. Other search engines may support a Safe Search mode but do so through URL parameters, which are not supported by DNS.

 

Selecting Forced Safe Search will also disable all other search engines. If you require an additional search engine for some reason or are seeing something blocked you need as a result, you can add the desired domain records to your whitelist.
