Blowfish Technology delivers AI-powered DNS filtering to North West businesses – powered by DNSFilter Pro. Block malware, phishing sites, ransomware and inappropriate content before it ever reaches your network or your employees’ devices.
What DNSFilter Blocks

- ✓ Phishing & credential harvesting pages
- ✓ Botnet & command and control servers
- ✓ Inappropriate & non-work content
- ✓ Newly registered & suspicious domains
- ✓ Covers all devices including remote workers
The Problem
Most Attacks Start with a DNS Request
Before malware can communicate with an attacker, before a phishing page loads in a browser, before ransomware can phone home to its command and control server – there’s a DNS request. Every connection to the internet starts with one.
DNS filtering intercepts these requests and checks them against a continuously updated threat intelligence database. Malicious domains are blocked before the connection is ever made – stopping the attack at its very first step.
DNSFilter Pro, managed by Blowfish Technology, provides this protection for every device on your network and every remote worker – a fast, lightweight and highly effective security layer that most SMEs don’t have.

How It Works
DNSFilter Pro – Under the Hood
DNSFilter sits between your devices and the internet – analysing every DNS request in milliseconds and blocking connections to malicious, suspicious or inappropriate domains before they can cause harm.
Cloud-Based Deployment
Blowfish Technology points your network DNS to DNSFilter’s resolvers – no hardware to install, no complex configuration. Office networks and remote workers are both covered.
AI Threat Classification
Every DNS request is checked against DNSFilter’s AI-powered threat intelligence database – identifying malicious, phishing, malware and newly registered suspicious domains in real time.
Instant Blocking
Blocked requests are stopped before the connection is made – the malicious page never loads, the malware never downloads, the ransomware never phones home.
Content Category Filtering
Set content policies – blocking social media, gambling, adult content or any other category on company devices during work hours or permanently.
Roaming Agent for Remote Workers
A lightweight roaming agent extends DNS filtering protection to employees working from home or on the road – every device protected regardless of location.
Reporting & Visibility
Real-time dashboards and reports show every blocked request, threat category and browsing pattern – giving Blowfish Technology the intelligence to keep you protected.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is DNS filtering and how does it work? ⌄
DNS filtering intercepts the DNS requests your devices make when connecting to websites. DNSFilter checks each request against its threat intelligence database and blocks the connection if the domain is malicious or falls into a blocked content category – in milliseconds before any content is loaded.
Will DNS filtering slow down our internet connection? ⌄
No. DNSFilter operates with sub-millisecond response times – your team will not notice any difference in browsing speed.
Does it protect employees working from home? ⌄
Yes. DNSFilter includes a roaming agent that extends the same protection to remote workers regardless of which network they’re connected to – essential for hybrid or fully remote teams.
Can we block specific websites or categories of content? ⌄
Yes. DNSFilter allows granular content filtering policies – block specific domains or entire categories such as social media, gambling or adult content. Policies can be applied globally, by user group or by device.
How much does DNS filtering cost? ⌄
Priced per user per month. Blowfish Technology provides it as a managed service – handling deployment, policy configuration and ongoing management. Contact us for a tailored quote.
