Sniffing Out Unsafe Networks

How it works
A simple probe for the networks that matter.
NetHound is designed as an independent testing layer. Instead of being the firewall itself, it verifies whether your existing protections appear to block unsafe categories and allow normal browsing.
Verify
See which categories look blocked, which appear reachable, and which results need manual review.
Improve
Use the results to tune DNS, firewall, proxy, and filtering rules for homes and schools.
Interactive demo
Test your network in the browser
This browser test uses safe and provider-supplied test URLs. It does not access real harmful content. Results are directional because browser networking and CORS can make some blocks appear as timeouts or generic failures.
Test configuration
Leave defaults in place or replace any URL with a test endpoint from your filtering provider.
Click Test Your Network to run the browser checks.
