Hi
I’m having a hard time configuring CleanBrowsing on my Windows 10 machine. Can you please help? Please be detailed, I’m new to this.

Hi David
No problem, we’ll be happy to help.
For starters, you can always reference our guide here for Windows 10: https://cleanbrowsing.org/guides/windows
Configuring CleanBrowsing on your local machine is straight forward. The fastest way is to use something called command prompt.
You will want to run it as the administrator (you can do this by right-clicking the option in your start menu). Once you open the command prompt, you’ll want to run two separate commands in the window that pops up.
Commands to run:
netsh interface ipv4 set dns "Wi-Fi" static 185.228.168.168 primary netsh interface ipv4 add dns "Wi-Fi" 185.228.169.168 index=2
Now you can go to this site: dnsleaktest.com and run the standard test. These instructions help you verify if the local DNS was configured correctly: https://cleanbrowsing.org/guides/how-to-verify-cleanbrowsing-dns-configured
If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Very useful. I have IPv6 on my network. What’s should I do to add the DNS for IPv6?
For IPv6, it is pretty simple as well:
netsh interface ipv6 set dns "Wi-Fi" static 2a0d:2a00:1:: primary netsh interface ipv6 add dns "Wi-Fi" 2a0d:2a00:2:: index=2
That will enable the Family Filter.
Hello, been using this service for almost a year, . No issues. Today I am blocked from ESPN, Outlook (web) and many neutral sites. Rebooted everything, checked anything. No luck. Something changed on your end. Unable to browse most sites.
Turn off DHCP server and all works without protection.
Out of options- why did you change things??
We didn’t do any of that! It is probably something on your network, I assume.
Do you mind taking a screenshot of the errors you are getting on those sites? Or if you go here:
And run the standard test, share what you are getting as a result?
thanks,
