Home-Use (Residential) Plan
HRCT
Price comparisons for HOME users.. freefiltering.org is aimed at kids and residential customers. $29/month (though they have a "free" tier with no support or endpoint agent management). OpenDNS .. here I can't find a paid plan for home users .. all home plans appear to be "free." One tier is similar to Cloudflare DNS (where you choose the DNS servers based on level of filtering preferences) with no configuration options but the other seems to have individualization. Anyone have other suggestions and price comparisons. Personally, I use DNSFilter at work and I've tried all of the above at home. Are there better choices. Should DNSFilter make a residential product or instead recommend or refer another free service?

Residential Plans

DNSFilter is such a great service for businesses. I think it could also be used in residential environments as well, but the pricing may be out of reach of many home users. It's certainly way better than NextDNS and Control D for domain name resolution speed and features.
Please consider coming up with a cheaper residential plan ($10/month or so). Additionally, the roaming client should utilize Apple's built-in profiles for Macs, iOS devices, and AppleTV's.
Thanks for making such a great product!

As a home user, I know it's better than the others, even though it's a pretty steep $20 a month. The cost would be much more palatable if the roaming clients were allowed for home users, though. Then DNSFilter would be a one-stop shop for responsible parenting in cyberspace.
Eric Nix
Ken Tompkins For sure. NextDNS/Control D offer what's similar to roaming clients for all kinds of devices (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, even AppleTVs). Granted, the market for DNSFilter is a lot more commercial than residential. I think DNSFilter could gain additional revenue by catering to both. Might need to beef up their hardware more as the increased utilization may slow down their servers some. $35-40/mo with access to all roaming clients would be certainly reasonable for me. Unfortunately, you can't even use iOS roaming clients unless you're an enterprise subscriber.

Yes, please add! The only reason I won't be going with this service is because of its steep cost just for personal use.

Family Plan

Your UI is the best I've encountered. I have a family at home with adult children who need content blocking and safe searching. I would have to purchase your enterprise product to cover all the different smart phones etc and this simply prices DNSFilter out of the market where only children are thought of when it comes to content filtering...

No Log Option

I have a number of home users and want to offer DNS Filter as cost effective service and a way to protect them. However I am not interested in the content they view apart from the bad Malware Etc. It would be great to be able to not log some of the categories.
Matt Ellsworth
It would be useful - till then I use OpenDns for work and NxtDNS for home. It works well enough for the $20/year it cost.

I agree with this as it helps to push more analytics and data towards making your servers learn more.

This would also be a great upsell for clients being able to add a 'free' or included staff member home use benefit. We currently have this with other tools such as password managers that give staff of clients free family plan usage as a perk. From this perspective, we would happily manage it under a separate site or what not, and would only be looking to block malicious sites and possibly have restricted views of what the home users is browsing for privacy reasons, or possibly no view at all.

It's crazy to me this isn't a thing yet. Glad we are coming together as a community to tell the development team this is a MUST and get this across the finish line!
