Home Office Security Overview

Whalebone Home Office Security (HOS) provides an off-network DNS filtering functionality for desktop and mobile devices. It intercepts DNS traffic and inspects it before sending network packets to the wild. It protects the device from network threat by scanning every DNS packet. At the moment, Windows, Android and iOS devices are supported. For detailed OS version support, see below.
