Beginning October 17, safeguards will be put in place that help protect the U-M community from websites known to be malicious—those that attempt to steal your personal information or infect your device with malware—on most UM-Ann Arbor wired networks. This protection is already included on MWireless and MGuest.
Domain Name Service (DNS) filtering checks websites against a list of known malware and phishing sites and prevents your web browser from connecting to listed sites. If you try to visit a listed malicious site, you will be redirected to a safe landing page. The service is automated and does not identify individual users or examine website content.
