Click for a larger view

Advertisements Internet ads are often untrustworthy if not outright malicious, and internet safety can be a challenge when concerning people that are not as technologically skilled such as kids, the elderly, or just the uninformed. Our DNS sink-holing device allows you to block ads at a network level, creating a safer and better web browsing experience without the hassle of needing an ad-blocker for every browser on every device. We want this device to be convenient without breaking the bank, so it needs to be low cost, easy to install/use, and no larger than a typical router. Our device also features an android application to access the GUI of the device as well as a real-time LED indicator to visually inspect the status of the device.
