01
System DNS
Protect every app that uses the OS resolver.
SafeLayer filters DNS requests locally, blocking known malicious destinations while forwarding clean traffic through the network configuration your PC already trusts.
Internet Protection
Block dangerous destinations before they reach your PC.
SafeLayer AV covers both system DNS and encrypted browser navigation, giving every path to the web the same local threat intelligence.

One local decision point
Clean traffic continues. Known dangerous destinations are stopped.
Two paths, one blocklist
Protect ordinary traffic and encrypted browser traffic together.
Browsers with Secure DNS enabled can bypass a normal system filter. SafeLayer keeps both routes aligned with the same current threat intelligence, so protection does not depend on how a site is reached.
02
Encrypted browser traffic
Keep Secure DNS from becoming a blind spot.
A browser extension checks navigation before it loads, so SafeLayer can enforce the same blocklists even when a browser uses its own encrypted DNS path.
Designed to stay safe
Protection should never leave the machine offline.
Capture first
Save the existing network configuration before any change.
Bind first
Apply system-wide filtering only after the local filter is ready.
Watchdog
Restore network defaults if the filter stops responding.
Startup reconcile
Check persisted state and listener health after a restart.
Beyond web filtering
Keep a closer watch on what connects and what changes.
