Frequently asked questions

Does DNS Security Essentials inspect HTTPS traffic?

No. It works at the DNS layer. Selective inspection arrives with DNS Security Advantage and full proxying with SIG.

Will DNS filtering slow down browsing?

Umbrella runs on a global anycast network and is designed for fast resolution, so most users notice no difference.
