Explore the complete taxonomy used to classify over 90 million domains by our DNS filtering service. Each category is grouped by purpose and includes descriptions, domain counts, and examples.
Our category system is designed to provide granular control for DNS filtering policies while remaining intuitive for administrators to configure and maintain.
Categories are organized into 7 parent groups for easy bulk policy management. Block an entire group or drill down to specific subcategories for granular control.
Domains can belong to multiple categories. A news site with a sports section may be classified as both News and Sports, giving your policies more accurate filtering.
Categories are reviewed and updated continuously. New domains are classified within minutes of discovery. Existing classifications are re-verified on a 30-day rolling cycle.
Our 58 categories map directly to policy rules in your DNS filtering configuration. Build custom policies for different user groups, locations, and compliance requirements.
Assign different category block/allow rules to user groups. Marketing might need Social Media access while Engineering needs GitHub unblocked.
Allow Streaming Media during lunch hours but block it during business hours. Schedule category access based on time of day and day of week.
Pre-built policy templates for CIPA, HIPAA, and enterprise acceptable use. Start with a template and customize categories to match your requirements.
