Net Nanny Child App vs CleanBrowsing.org DNS

Net Nanny Child is the child companion App that is designed to work in conjunction with the Net Nanny Parental Control. The App is to be installed on each child device that a parent wishes to connect with and cannot be setup or used until an account has been created by installing and setting up the Net Nanny Parental Control App. This App will provide the enforcement of the features managed and established in the Net Nanny Parental Control App on your iOS device after installing and initializing this App. As part of the enforcement, the Net Nanny Child App uses a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to facilitate analysis of Internet traffic for the purpose of blocking and/or warning about inappropriate content. Blocked web page URLs, page titles and search terms are collected and can only be viewed in the Net Nanny Parental Control app by the subscriber who has downloaded and authorized the use of the Net Nanny Child app. In addition, anonymized data may be collected (not in a manner that would identify individuals personally) so Net Nanny can perform analysis and make improvements. Continued use of GPS running in the background provides location tracking for parents but can dramatically decrease battery life.

CleanBrowsing is a DNS-based content filtering service that offers a safe way to browse the web without surprises. It intercepts domain requests and filter sites that should be blocked, based on your requirements. Our free family filter, for example, blocks adult content, while still allowing Google, Youtube, Bing, DuckDuckGo and the rest of the web to load safely. Our free filters are comprised of three predefined filters for global consumption (Security, Adult, and Family). The Family filter blocks adult / obscene content and applies Safe Search filters to Google, Bing, Yandex, etc. The security filter, however, only focuses on restricting access to malicious activity. Our custom filters give you full control on what should be blocked. You can pick from 14 predefined filters (Adult, Gaming, Gambling, Torrents, Weapons, Social Network, etc), but also make your own rules and block/allow any domains you wish. Custom block pages can also be created on the Pro plans and all the plans allow for network visibility (see which sites are being visited from your network).
