Use case
  • DNS filtering for cleaner day-to-day browsing and device behavior.
  • Local hostnames and internal resolution for self-hosted services.

  • The top clients section is redacted while keeping blocked-domain examples visible.
  • Combined role: filtering, internal naming support and basic DNS visibility.
Why it matters

  • Useful internal name resolution
  • Better visibility into noisy or blocked requests
