Feature Requests

Hello, is it possible to add in the "force safe search engine" section, the new Search Engine "Brave" ( https://search.brave.com ) with safe search URL : https://safe.search.brave.com . Thank you a lot !

Consider these remote desktop applications for AppAware: Splashtop Acronis Quick Assist

Can we add more tools to the "remote desktop" AppAware library. Right now, we do have a bunch of other tools that we would like to block, such as splashtop, teamviewer, etc, but it's odd that only one app is listed as an option.

Currently I can easily bypass the DNS filter by searching for another browser such as brave, downloading it and adding a vpn extension. The only way to stop this is to manually block all internet browsers (opera, vivaldi, brave, etc.). It would be very useful to have a one-click way to block all browser websites.

We're requesting the ability to approve or deny access to blocked domains directly from the email notifications generated by DNSFilter. Instead of logging into the dashboard, administrators should be able to click through from the notification email to quickly take action (e.g., add to allow list, keep blocked, or submit for review). Customer Value: This would streamline the workflow for IT/security teams by reducing the number of steps required to manage blocked domain requests. It also provides a faster response time for end-users while maintaining admin control and oversight.

Tobias ( [email protected] ) from AnyKey reached out suggesting that the current wording for SafeSearch can cause some confusion and recommend changing the wording from: Enforce Google SafeSearch to Allow Google With SafeSearch

Requesting feature to allow multiple recipients in DNSFilter Block page notifications

Ability to create a WARN page that does not block a category/site but instead shows a warning page reminding users of some caveat before going to the requested site. For example, before going to a Generative AI site, a page appears warning the user to NOT enter any business confidential, HIPAA, or other PII into AI. There would be a button on the page to acknowledge the warning and continue to the site.

Please add an "Allow" option to AppAware so that the feature can be used to either block or allow an entire ecosystem instead of just blocking.

We need an option to block punycode and other homograph DNS attacks. A temporary alternative would be to block any domain that starts with "xn--" or block anything that doesn't fall within the traditional ASCII character set.
