SafeDNS is a cloud-based DNS filtering solution from SafeDNS, Inc. headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, for managed service providers, enterprises, educational institutions and ISPs. The platform blocks malware, phishing, ransomware, botnets, DNS spoofing, man-in-the-middle attacks and DNS tunneling at the DNS layer using AI-powered threat intelligence, processing over 5 billion DNS requests daily and blocking 73 million cyber threats daily. SafeDNS includes content category filtering with AppBlocker for controlling application access across 80+ apps, with real-time detection powered by continuous machine learning updates that identify and categorise emerging threats. The MSP program starts at $0.90 per user per month with published reseller pricing (checked September 2026), offering cost-effective margin opportunities, volume-based discounts, co-op marketing funds and market development funds (MDF) based on sales performance, making it attractive for resellers seeking profitable security add-ons. Deployment is cloud-only with 5-minute setup and no hardware appliances required, reducing deployment friction for MSPs. Roaming clients protect devices on any network including behind NAT, with support for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS, across on-site, remote and hybrid environments. SafeDNS includes white-labeling capabilities for MSP branding with custom logos and domains, enabling MSPs to offer DNS security as a branded service. The platform supports encrypted DNS traffic using DoH, DoT and DNSSEC protocols, plus integrations with RMM and PSA platforms for streamlined management. SafeDNS supports 15-day free trials and protects 6 million end users globally. Support is available 24/7 via live chat, plus email and phone, with training through documentation, webinars, videos and online meetings. Compliance support includes ISO27001, CIPA and E-Rate funding standards. MSPs should verify RMM and PSA integration compatibility before deploying at scale, confirm white-labeling meets specific branding needs, and test the trial to verify roaming client performance across customer base.
SafeDNS stands out for offering published MSP reseller pricing rather than quote-only pricing, with white-labeling built in. It suits MSPs that want DNS filtering with real-time threat intelligence and application blocking without hardware appliances. Because SafeDNS pricing is per-user rather than per-endpoint or per-site, compare total user costs against per-endpoint alternatives like Cloudflare Gateway or Palo Alto Networks DNS Security when evaluating. Confirm the integration list covers your specific RMM before committing, and test the 15-day trial to verify roaming client compatibility across your customer base.

SafeDNS is priced per user for the MSP reseller program, starting at $0.90 per user per month in USD (checked September 2026). This differs from endpoint-based alternatives like Cloudflare Gateway or endpoint agents that charge per device rather than per user. The per-user model suits MSPs with many shared-device environments or educational institutions where user counts better reflect billing needs than device counts.
Yes, SafeDNS offers a 15-day free trial to test all features before committing to a paid plan. The trial includes access to the full dashboard, content filtering, roaming client deployment, reporting, and 24/7 support via live chat, email and phone. MSPs can evaluate the platform's integration with their RMM and PSA stack during the trial period.
Yes, SafeDNS integrates with major RMM platforms including NinjaOne, Datto RMM, N-able N-central and ConnectWise RMM, as well as PSA systems. The integrations enable workflow automation through existing MSP tools rather than requiring a separate console. MSPs should verify specific integration details during the trial before deploying at scale to confirm the current integration list covers their specific version and use case.
Yes, SafeDNS is cloud-only and requires no hardware installation or local appliances. Setup takes approximately 5 minutes through the dashboard. Roaming clients deploy across Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS devices, with protection extending to any network including behind NAT. This cloud-first approach reduces deployment complexity for MSPs managing devices across on-site, remote and hybrid environments.
Yes, SafeDNS includes white-labeling capabilities allowing MSPs to rebrand the console with custom logos and domains. This enables MSPs to offer DNS filtering as a branded service to their own customers. The MSP program also includes co-op marketing funds and market development funds (MDF) based on sales volume, plus volume-based pricing discounts beyond the $0.90 starting rate.
