Can You please explain what exactly happens when we toggle this feature on ?

This feature is now released!

In order to enable CIPA with a click, browse to “Policies” and chose the policy you’d like to edit (or create a new one). From there, you may navigate to the “Advanced - Extra Settings” tab, where you’ll see the "CIPA Compliance” toggle (as pictured below).

Quick update here guys. Unfortunately, this feature got wrapped into a release that included an enhanced version on the MSP dashboard, so it’s a bit delayed. The coding is complete, so as soon as the MSP dashboard releases (Estimated and on track for release by 5/16), this feature will also become available simultaneously.

Ken Carnesi: Regardless of the delay it's good to hear that it is still coming to us. Thanks!

I upvoted this, but I think CIPA is way more cumbersome than most people (and solution providers) want to admit. CIPA is an organizational compliance which includes P&P on how minors are protected. CIPA Compliance also mandates "Internet safety policies must include monitoring the online activities of minors;" DNSFilter offers no way to differentiate between devices or users, so CIPA Compliance for an organization or institution is not as simple as a One-Click button.

Robert: This is a good comment. We are taking steps to ensure that we communicate properly about how this fits in with CIPA compliance. As you say, it is something an organization has to adhere to. While we can't control the other aspects of CIPA compliance (Usage Policies, town-hall meetings before implementation etc), we do want to make it as smooth as possible. We have a guide that explains how DNSFilter fits in with the broader context of CIPA. It may be helpful to make this accessible within the dashboard for education customers.

Robert: I'm not sure that's completely accurate? Right from the fcc site: "CIPA does not require the tracking of Internet use by minors or adults."

I agree that this would be a great feature.
