Comodo Secure DNS vs Smart DNS Proxy

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.
