Web Filtering for Schools and Colleges: Safe Browsing for Students

AI-powered web filtering for schools and colleges. Block adult and unsafe sites all day, switch games, social media and AI tools off for class and exams, all from one simple console.

Hosted in India No hardware 14-day free trial
Available for Windows Mac iPhone & iPad Android

Why schools need web filtering

Every lab computer is one click away from the wrong page.

Harmful content

Adult, gambling and violent sites are a search away, in any browser or app.

Classroom distractions

Games, social media and video pull students off the lesson, and AI tools hand them the answers in a test.

Malware and phishing

One bad link in an email, ad or download puts school computers and staff accounts at risk.

Board guidelines

CBSE and NCERT ask schools to filter their computers and review what gets blocked. Zaksha does both from one console.

Why Zaksha

Threat detection

Advanced threat protection stops phishing, malware and scam sites before they reach students or staff.

Rules for each class and lab

Different rules for junior classes, senior classes and the staff room, from one console.

Apps and websites

Block or allow YouTube, Instagram, BGMI, Discord or any single site, for one lab or the whole school.

Timetable-aware filtering

Social media and games pause in class, and ChatGPT and Gemini go off for a test and come back after.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Are adult sites blocked all the time, or only in school hours?

All the time, once it's on. You choose which categories follow a schedule, such as social media, games, streaming and AI tools.

Can we turn AI tools off only during a test?

Yes. Put the lab in a group with a schedule; AI tools are paused inside the window and back after it.

Does it read what students type?

No. It sees which sites a device looks up and whether they were blocked.

What if a student changes the DNS setting?

On school laptops and PCs, changing it requires admin rights. Encrypted DNS services are blocked. On Android, a device that stops reporting is flagged "Gone quiet".

We already have a firewall.

A firewall covers your network. Zaksha covers each device on any network, and keeps a record per device.

Where is our data?

In India, on AWS Mumbai. A dedicated instance can be quoted for your school.

Does it work off campus?

Yes. Rules apply on the device, so they hold at home and on mobile data.
