KeepSolid’s VPN Unlimited added a new feature for its customers. This DNS firewall can block domains associated with malware, porn, drugs and alcohol, gambling, games, and more.

Great news for KeepSolid customers. And if you’re not a customer, I recommend reading my roundup of DNS services to use.
