    In the how this works section they detail that it comes from MDM solutions. In English this is a feature for it admins of companies who use the intune management software from Microsoft. You probably need pro or better to even use the feature.

    At a quick glance, it looks to be a way of whitelisting domains at a DNS level, but with the added feature of having allowed DNS servers.

      The amount of Windows bashing in this thread is hilarious, for what amounts to Enterprise grade DNS-over-TLS with additional whitelisting. Doesn’t help the home user, but likely won’t break home users internet access either.

          Because they don’t understand it. Kinda laughable really.

          And I’ve been cursing MS since Windows 1.0 - what a joke that was. Then MS Bob? You’re kidding, right? I so wanted to run Bob just as a joke to fuck with my peers, but I couldn’t even tolerate it enough for that.

      As a sysadmin, that actually sounds pretty useful. If they add a blocklist feature, it might be a good system-wide malware / ad blocking solution.
