You will need to log onto the server or router where your DNS server addresses are configured and redirect your DNS to your WebTitan Cloud IP addresses. Your specific WebTitan Cloud IP addresses were issued by email when your account was created. See WebTitan Cloud IP Addresses.
Before making changes, take note of your DNS settings as backup in case you need to switch back to them at a later date.
Important
To filter correctly, WebTitan Cloud must be the only DNS forwarder you have in place.

In the Properties window click the Forwarders tab and click Edit.

Locate the BIND configuration file, usually located at
/etc/namedb/named.confLook for the options statement:
options { ... ... };Inside the options statement, add a forwarders statement listing your WebTitan servers.
Note
If a forwarders statement already exists (pointing to your ISPs DNS server), edit it appropriately to point to the WebTitan servers.
Your edited forwarders statement should look as follows, where 1.2.3.4 is your WebTitan IP:
options { ... forwarders { 1.2.3.4 }; };Restart the BIND service to reload the configuration.
