About DNSFilter

At DNSFilter we have a singular mission: to challenge the way the industry thinks about security via DNS. We support over 15,000 organizations, including Fortune 500 customers like NVIDIA, and Lenovo, and provide DNS security to more than 4 million end-users. And we are growing quickly! At the start of 2020, our software was processing 1B queries/day. At the end of 2021, we were processing an average of 17B queries/day! In the middle of a global pandemic, our team (and product) thrived. We doubled the size of our team, tripled the size of our company, and we’re looking to do it all over again in 2022.
