For churches, youth groups, camps and clubs
Safe Wi‑Fi for every child in your building.
One setting on your church's router filters every phone, tablet and laptop on your Wi‑Fi. Adult sites, gambling and scams never load, in the youth room, the nursery or the parking lot.
- Any router
- Every device on your Wi‑Fi
- No credit card
- Guest and lobby Wi‑Fi
- Youth and kids' rooms
- Fellowship halls
- Visitors' own phones
Set up between Sunday services.
No software on anyone's phone and no IT person needed. Sheepdog Filter works at the internet's "phone book", so blocked sites simply never load on your network.
Create your church's account
Strong protection is switched on from the first minute: adult sites, gambling, scams and the VPN tricks teens use to get around filters.
Set it once on your router
Paste one address into your router's DNS setting. We walk you through every popular brand, and a real person helps if you get stuck.
Print your sign, share your link
Put up a "This Wi‑Fi is filtered" sign, and give your families a link to protect their own homes, free.
Help every family in your church protect their home.
Kids spend a few hours a week at church and the rest at home. Your church gets its own link and QR code, so parents can set up the same protection for their family in five minutes.
- Your own share link, printed on your sign
- Families see that your church recommended it
- See how many families have joined through you
- Their activity stays private to their family, always

The protections a church wants, already on.
We keep millions of harmful sites on our lists and add newly found ones every hour, so your staff never has to.
Adult content
Pornography and explicit sites, on every device on your network.
Gambling
Casinos, sports betting and the "free spins" sites aimed at teens.
Scams and malware
Phishing, fake prize pages and infected sites, protecting your office computers too.
VPNs and proxies
The apps and "unblocked" sites people use to get around a filter.
SafeSearch, always
Google, Bing and YouTube are kept in their safe modes.
Social media and games, if you choose
Off by default. Switch them on for youth nights with one tap.
Protection, not surveillance.
No reading messages
We never see texts, emails or what's on anyone's screen. We only stop harmful sites from loading.
Staff can opt out
Mark the pastor's or the office laptop as a grown-up device, and it gets scam protection only.
Families stay private
Your church sees how many families joined, never who they are or what they do online.
Fast and reliable
Runs on Cloudflare's global network. Livestreams and giving pages work as normal.
Questions church staff ask.
Something else? Email hello@sheepdogfilter.com and a real person will answer.
Will it work with our church's router?
Almost certainly. Nearly every router lets you change its DNS setting, including eero, TP-Link, Netgear, Ubiquiti and the boxes from internet companies. Our church setup guide walks through it step by step.
Do we need someone technical?
No. If someone can log in to your router and paste one address, you're done. If you get stuck, tap "I'm stuck" in your dashboard and we'll help.
Will it block our livestream, giving or church software?
No. We only block harmful categories like adult sites, gambling and scams. If anything you need is ever blocked, add it to your always-allow list in one tap.
Can the office or pastor's devices skip the filter?
Yes. Mark any device as a grown-up device and it gets scam and malware protection only.
We have more than one building.
Add each building that has its own internet connection, and give each one its own rules if you like.
What does it cost?
It's free to start, with every feature included. If a very busy campus ever outgrows the free plan, we'll tell you in your dashboard first.
Is it only for churches?
No. It's for any church, ministry or faith community, and for youth groups, summer camps, scout troops and sports clubs: anywhere kids share a Wi‑Fi password. See the camps and youth groups guide.
