Add a DNS Filtering profile

Integrated DNS Filtering is being retired

The integrated DNS Filtering feature in N-central is no longer available for new activations. Existing partners who already have it enabled, can continue using it until it's removed after March 31, 2026.

To use DNS Filtering, we recommend using the standalone version. See the DNS Filtering User Guide for details.

If you're currently using the integrated version, contact an N-able representative with your account name and contact information to begin your migration. For details, see Migrate to standalone DNS Filtering.

A profile determines what content filter is applied to your network and what users see when they access a blocked website. You can add a DNS Filtering profile by using the default profile or by creating your own custom profile and then assign it to one or more sites.

Before you can create a profile, you must first add a content filter and a block page.

  1. Go to Integrations >DNS Filtering > Profiles.

  2. Click Add profile.

  3. Enter a name and description for the profile and click Save.

  4. Select a content filter and block page from the drop-down lists.

  5. Click Save and then click Finish.
