Use 198.153.192.50 and 198.153.194.50 to block those sites plus those with pornographic content. Use 198.153.192.60 and 198.153.194.60 to block all previously mentioned site categories plus those Norton deems “non-family friendly.”<\/p>\n

[7] Register here<\/a> with SafeDNS for content filtering options in several areas.<\/p>\n

[8] The DNS servers listed here for OpenNIC are just two of many in the US and across the globe. Instead of using the OpenNIC DNS servers listed above, see their complete list of public DNS servers here<\/a> and use two that are close to you or let them tell you that automatically here<\/a>. OpenNIC also offers some IPv6 public DNS servers.<\/p>\n

[9] These Public-Root DNS servers are the only two currently operating in the United States but if you’re located ouside the US, see their complete list here<\/a> and choose the best servers based on your location.<\/p>\n

[10] The censurfridns.dk DNS servers are uncensored, operated by a privately funded individual, and are physically located in Denmark. You can read more about them here<\/a>. IPv6 DNS servers are also available at 2002:d596:2a92:1:71:53:: and 2002:5968:c28e::53<\/p>\n
