    In the how this works section they detail that it comes from MDM solutions. In English this is a feature for it admins of companies who use the intune management software from Microsoft. You probably need pro or better to even use the feature.

    At a quick glance, it looks to be a way of whitelisting domains at a DNS level, but with the added feature of having allowed DNS servers.

      The amount of Windows bashing in this thread is hilarious, for what amounts to Enterprise grade DNS-over-TLS with additional whitelisting. Doesn’t help the home user, but likely won’t break home users internet access either.

      As a sysadmin, that actually sounds pretty useful. If they add a blocklist feature, it might be a good system-wide malware / ad blocking solution.
