[QUOTE="blackice, post: 1063855, member: 79035"] I understand that. Here is the problem. Usability issues that cripple functionality lead to users bypassing the DNS. Either changing DNS, switching to mobile from wifi, using a hotspot. This then defeats any security benefit if users get in the habit of bypassing any block. If I am not available to whitelist something, it just leads to bypass. Also, it was near impossible to whitelist the Apple issue as dozens of urls used in the background were causing the issues. So, I see DNS as a tool that’s mostly beneficial to higher knowledge individuals. It doesn’t work for those who don’t understand what’s happening. I wouldn’t have the patience to deal with it if I did t know what was happening either. [/QUOTE]
