Pros

After you login with your account, this tool automatically starts protecting you without being annoying or disturbing at all. The main window has a modern look an is as simple as it can be. It only has a button to turn the protection ON/OFF and in the middle it tells you whether you are protected by SafeDNS or not. You can access the settings from the icon on the left-side and configure them to suite your needs.
Set up multiple profiles to suite your needs
When ran for the first time it protects you using the default profile and configuration. However, you can set up different profiles for different users on the same computer and switch between them quickly and easily. You can modify and change the ‘Content Filtering Settings’, which lets you decide what type of sites to allow and what type of sites to block. The websites are categorized in a various different categories like ‘Illegal Activity’, ‘Adult Related’, ‘Bandwidth Hogs’, ‘Time Wasters’ or ‘General Sites’. You can also block/unblock specific URLs by adding them to the Black list or White list as needed. Changing the settings of SafeDNS requires you to enter the password so no one can access and change settings.
Works as a Parental Control Service
SafeDNS works well as a ‘Parental Control Application’, it can protect your children against against porn, browser games, online time wasters as well as other dangerous and unwanted web content.
Protection for all devices

Customizable Blockpage
It let’s you control the page that is shown when the user tries to access a blocked website or web content. You can add your own image and text to show up there. This is useful for business as they can add their company logo and text of their choice on the block page.
Cons
Visited pages might still be available
The pages you visit with SafeDNS off, would remain available as long as they are in the cache. This is because if the page is available in the cache the browser does not have to request DNS look up. You have to make sure to clear the browser cache, especially if children use the same Windows profile as you.
Conclusion
SafeDNS provides an efficient and reliable solution to help you block access to malicious internet content when your PC is used to browse internet.

You don’t even try the software you say your reviewing. All you do is rewrite what the company says about it’s own software. Look at your CONS, that is just one thing they say you need to do. If you tried this software and actually reviewed it you would have easily found more CONS. I will no longer believe your reviews.
