1. Granular protection and integration with Active Directory

The Pro+ version of FlashStart DNS filtering allows you to manage different filtering policies related to Active Directory groups and users. To do this you need to configure: » Windows connector » DNS Proxy

1.1 Windows connector Configuration

It must be installed in the Microsoft Active Directory Server with the Administrator account, and is used to synchronize users and groups with our Datacenters. Go to the dedicated guide Windows connector setup

1.2 DNS Proxy Configuration

At this point you need to download and configure the DNS proxy. Go to the dedicated guide DNS proxy installation and configuration.
