Hello,

 

I have been told by my ISP I am unable to change the DNS settings on my ADSL wireless modem.  Would I benefit from running Norton DNS on my computer when I have N360 installed?  If  "Norton ConnectSafe leverages the Norton Safe Web database.",  isn't that the same as the safe site icons I see now.

 

Thank you for any advice you can offer.

 

Dave.

Dave,

Using a second filter, Norton DNS, on your surfing shouldn't cause any problems - unless you set it to the most restrictive level and then try to play in the bad hoods :smileywink:

The difference between the DNS protection and the icons is the DNS protection will not let you access the site while the icons only tell you about the safety of the site.

Hope this helps

Dick,

 

Thanks for the explanation.  I understand a little better now.

Thanks Dick. I've asked the question internally. 

 

Happy New Year

Thank you Dave

I'll be looking for the answer as will the user who first posed the question

 

Have a very Happy New Year

I love Norton ConnectSafe. It has really curbed the surfing of porn by my teenagers. Is it possible to add http:// tribes.tribe.net/  to the list of blocked porn sites? They have a "Romance & Relationships" link that is full of porn: http:// tribes.tribe.net/category/romance-relationships
