The Fox Web Security είναι ένα add-on για τον Firefox web browser που εμποδίζει ή επιτρέπει τη σύνδεση με δικτυακούς τόπους που είναι εγγεγραμμένοι στα blocklists τριών παρόχων DNS, της Yandex, της OpenDNS και του Norton ConnectSafe.
Let's mention from the beginning that the add-on is a useful addition to the better safety of your system, but should not be used as the only means of protection.
Although there are many security solutions for the Firefox browser, the Fox Web Security add-on has a different approach.
Technically, it checks the domain names that the browser connects to the database of the three companies. The add-on blocks it access on third-party domains or connections if there is one on black list to one of the aforementioned services.
Note that even with aggregated data from the three services, the DNS service of the system is not affected.
You can check your computer to verify that you control all of the movement, from Firefox's network monitor, which does not record all connections if a site is blocked.
The add-on uses the following blacklists from each service provider:
- Yandex.DNS: https://dns.yandex.com/ (Security + Family)
- OpenDNS: https://www.opendns.com/ (Family Shield)
- Norton ConnectSafe: https://dns.norton.com/ (Security + Pornography + Other)
Note that protection is not absolute 100%. A site like Playboy could be blocked, while Reddit posts containing pornographic content are not excluded.
This does not, of course, mean that the add-on is useless, the opposite.
First, you can add sites to a personal blacklist or to-do list. This will be useful for you to unlock a webpage that has been blocked by one of the DNS services, or to block one that is not blocked.
