Overview
DNS Firewall (also called Web Filter Protection) blocks malicious and unsafe websites before they can reach your devices.
To keep things simple and secure, this protection is provisioned per device — so the first step is making sure your devices are already onboarded in StrongKeep.
Once provisioned, StrongKeep generates a Resolver ID and install link, which guides the user through setup step by step.
Don’t worry — you don’t need to be technical. We’ve got you covered 🛡️
Prerequisites
Before you start, make sure:
-
✅ The device is already onboarded in Device Management
-
✅ You have permission to manage devices in StrongKeep
If you haven’t onboarded the device yet, head to Team → Device Management first.
Option 1: Protect a Single Device
Use this if you’re setting up DNS Firewall for just one device.
-
Go to Team → Device Management
-
Click on the device you want to protect
-
Scroll down to the Web Filter section
-
Click Protect this device
That’s it — StrongKeep will prepare the setup link for you.
Option 2: Protect Multiple Devices at Once
Use this if you want to roll out DNS Firewall to several devices together.
-
Go to Team → Device Management
-
Open the Coverage & Services tab
-
Scroll down to the Web Filter section
-
Click Provision Service to Devices
-
Select the devices you want to protect
-
Confirm your selection
StrongKeep will now provision DNS Firewall for all selected devices.
Resolver ID & Installation Link
After provisioning (using either option above), StrongKeep will generate:
-
Resolver ID
-
Installation link, in this format:
https://controld.com/provision?resolverUid={Resolver ID}
What to do next
-
Share this link with the person who has access to the device(s)
-
Open the link on the target device
-
Follow the step-by-step instructions shown on the page to complete installation
The instructions are tailored to the device’s operating system, so no guesswork needed.
