CleanBrowsing vs Comodo Secure DNS

CleanBrowsing is a DNS-based content-filtering service for restricting access to explicit material and categories such as gambling, torrents, gaming, and social media. Its resolver filters fully qualified domain names, and its anycast network has more than 50 data centers. The service uses a proprietary machine-learning platform to find and classify new domains. DNSCrypt, DNS-over-TLS, and DNS-over-HTTPS are supported by default, while DNSSEC is enforced and validated. Free public filters do not log personally identifiable information tied to DNS requests; paid customers can choose their logging level. Paid plans add custom domain rules, TLD blocking, device profiles with different filtering rules, and an option to block all internet access. Activity logging supports searches by domain, profile, and day. Apps are available for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, and devices can also be configured manually with DNS settings. Listed platforms include Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, Windows, and API. There is a free plan; paid pricing is listed from $75/yr, while monthly plans start at $8.99 a month. Self-service plans do not include a trial.

Comodo Secure DNS routes DNS requests through redundant security servers and filters web access to block phishing, malware domains, malicious sites, botnets, spyware, and other web-borne attacks. Its cloud infrastructure uses load balancing and geographically distributed Anycast servers hosted in more than 25 countries. Domain filtering spans more than 80 content categories, with millions of new domains added every two hours; administrators can also set custom blacklists and whitelists. Policies and visibility can be assigned by company, location, endpoint, mobile device, IP, subnet, or user. Protection extends to roaming users off-network, and iOS and Android apps cover cellular and Wi-Fi connections. Administrators get customizable real-time and scheduled email reports, plus customizable block pages. The free Gold package allows up to 300,000 DNS requests per month, but excludes several internal-network and encryption features. Separate Platinum packages are offered for enterprises and MSPs, with prices not listed. The listed platforms are Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows.
