Website filtering in NounDesk controls which websites a company Android phone can open in Google Chrome. You either block a list of sites, or allow only the sites you list, up to 1,000. To stop people getting around it, NounDesk turns off Incognito and blocks other browsers. For whole categories such as adult or gambling sites, it works alongside Private DNS filtering. The filter applies in Chrome, not across every app, and NounDesk does not record which sites anyone visits.
Choose a block list or an allow list, add the sites and publish. Chrome on every phone with that policy follows it.
A filter with an easy way around it isn't a filter. NounDesk closes the two obvious gaps for you.
Listing every adult or gambling site by hand isn't possible. Website filtering works alongside Private DNS filtering, which blocks whole categories at once.
Private DNS filtering blocks categories. Your Chrome list handles the rest.
For a tablet that has one job, put the order site on an allow list. Pair it with kiosk mode and the tablet shows nothing else.
The counter tablet is meant to show the order site. Then a customer taps the address bar, or a bored shift opens a video site, and the tablet isn't doing its job. Website filtering lets you decide which sites a work phone opens, and it stays that way.
It controls where Chrome can go. It isn't a way to watch people.
In Google Chrome, from a list of up to 1,000.
Incognito off and other browsers blocked.
NounDesk does not report which sites anyone visits.
Websites inside other apps aren't filtered. Block apps you don't want instead.
Android security policies in plain English: pick a template, set screen lock, updates, camera, Wi-Fi and encryption, and preview changes before publishing.
Android kiosk mode with no kiosk app to install. Lock a tablet or phone to one app, a few apps or a web page in a four-step wizard, and see each kiosk's health.
Install and manage apps on company Android phones: mark Google Play apps required, available or blocked per policy, and spot missing or outdated apps.
Yes. Add the sites to a block list in NounDesk and Google Chrome on those phones won't open them. You can also do the reverse and allow only the sites you list.
Yes. Switch to an allow list and Chrome opens only the sites on it, up to 1,000. This suits counter tablets and shared phones that do one job.
Not through another browser or a private window. NounDesk turns off Incognito and blocks other browsers, so Chrome with your filter is the only way onto the web.
No. Website filtering works in Google Chrome. It does not filter websites inside other apps, which is one reason NounDesk blocks other browsers and lets you block apps you don't want.
Yes, alongside Private DNS filtering. Private DNS blocks whole categories such as adult or gambling sites, while your Chrome list handles the specific sites you name.
No. NounDesk does not report browsing history. The filter blocks sites, it doesn't record what people look at.
