Internet service providers are constantly exploring new revenue opportunities to expand their business, and many are now turning to security as a value-added service alongside their connectivity offerings. Traditionally, integrating security with connectivity posed significant challenges due to the reliance on legacy solutions that required costly on-premises hardware. This makes it difficult to deploy and manage, and introduce post-deployment struggles with scalability and availability.

Today, these limitations can be addressed through cloud-based solutions like [Cloudflare Gateway](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/), our Secure Web Gateway service. Cloudflare Gateway's DNS filtering capabilities allow service providers to offer enhanced security as a value-added service for residential and mobile subscribers or B2B clients. With easy-to-create policies backed by Cloudflare's [extensive threat intelligence](https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/security/), service providers can effectively safeguard their customers from accessing potentially [harmful domains](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/domain-categories/#security-categories).

Moreover, Cloudflare Gateway eliminates concerns around availability, performance, and scalability, as it is built on [Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 public DNS resolver](/1.1.1.1/), one of the [fastest](https://www.dnsperf.com/#!dns-providers) and most widelyused DNS resolvers in the world.

If stable and defined source IPv4 addresses cannot be assigned to the on-premises DNS servers, service providers can instead use unique destination location endpoints. Each location is assigned a distinct [DoT](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/agentless/dns/locations/dns-resolver-ips/#dns-over-tls) and [DoH](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/agentless/dns/locations/dns-resolver-ips/#dns-over-https) hostname, as well as a unique [destination IPv6 address](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/agentless/dns/locations/dns-resolver-ips/#ipv6-address).

DNS filtering is then enforced through DNS policies set up by the service provider to detect domains linked to [security risks](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/domain-categories/#security-categories). Cloudflare continuously updates the list of risky domains using [its extensive threat intelligence](https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/security/). When a DNS query matches a flagged domain, the corresponding action specified in the DNS policy is executed. This action can be a '[Block](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/dns-policies/#block),' where Gateway responds with 0.0.0.0 for IPv4 queries or :: for IPv6 queries, or displays a [custom block page hosted by Cloudflare](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/block-page/). Alternatively, an '[Override](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/dns-policies/#override)' action can redirect the DNS query to a block page hosted by the service provider.

To achieve more precise control over which domains are allowed or blocked, the service provider can configure additional 'Allowed Domains' and 'Blocked Domains' policies. By setting these policies with [lower precedence](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/order-of-enforcement/#order-of-precedence) than the 'Security Risks' policy, the service provider can override the 'Security Risks' policy for specific domains.

## Additional offerings based on DNS filtering capabilities

Service providers can enhance their offerings by utilizing Cloudflare Gateway DNS policies to deliver additional value-added services alongside the base DNS security service. By utilizing the same solution, service providers can develop customized content category filtering services. These services can be easily constructed using Cloudflare's built-in [content categories](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/domain-categories/#content-categories) and [application types](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/application-app-types/), as well as the service provider's own custom allow and block lists.

-**Parental Control Services**: This service can block categories such as adult themes, child abuse, violence, and questionable content to ensure a safer online environment for children.

-**Educational Services**: Designed for schools and educational organizations, this service can extend beyond parental controls by blocking additional categories like CIPA, gambling, and entertainment, thereby promoting a focused learning atmosphere.
59

-**Enterprise Services**: This offering allows businesses to easily restrict access to non-work-related domains, including categories such as entertainment, social networking, gambling, shopping & auctions, society & lifestyle, and sports.

To differentiate these additional services from the core DNS security offering, the service provider would create additional DNS locations, one for each service. Cloudflare would be able to distinguish DNS queries for these services if the service provider sends them to one of the unique identifiers of a location. Each location has a unique [DoH](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/agentless/dns/locations/dns-resolver-ips/#dns-over-https) and [DoT](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/agentless/dns/locations/dns-resolver-ips/#dns-over-tls) hostname, and a unique [destination IPv6 address](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/agentless/dns/locations/dns-resolver-ips/#ipv6-address). Cloudflare can also provision [dedicated destination IPv4 addresses](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/agentless/dns/locations/dns-resolver-ips/#dns-resolver-ip) per location.
