FlashStart, the DNS filter present in more than 10 thousand companies, schools, and institutions around the world, has obtained the Made for MikroTik (MFM) certification. The FlashStart DNS Filter is, therefore, included in the selected list of browsing protection solutions recommended by MikroTik, the well-known manufacturer of network devices.

The FlashStart DNS Filter, the innovative content filter and malware protection software natively integrated on MikroTik RouterOS, requires no additional hardware or software and does not affect performance or browsing speed. Available as a cloud service, it monitors all DNS resolutions and filters internet access according to the security policy defined by MikroTik users and partners.

More than 90% of cyber attacks occur via the propagation of an email, text, or chat message containing a malicious link. When a company employee opens the link, it triggers the attack on the company infrastructure via malware and Trojans, with serious consequences.

FlashStart DNS Filter uses exclusive artificial intelligence algorithms to reduce false negatives and speed up browsing. In order to carry out its blacklists, the FlashStart DNS Filter scans up to 200,000 sites per day, supports 24 different languages, and recognizes 90 categories based upon content. The exclusive geo-blocking filter also allows for a significant reduction in latency.

The FlashStart service is a high-quality, fast, and easy-to-use solution designed to be seamlessly integrated into the entire MikroTik hardware offer and is particularly suited to the SMB market, to public administration, and to educational institutions. The MFM certification is the result of years of collaboration between FlashStart and MikroTik and illustrates the recognition of the trust that MikroTik dealers and distributors place in the solution.

"The MFM certification of MiktroTik confirms the quality and value of the FlashStart DNS Filter," says Francesco Collini, CEO of FlashStart, "and comes after years of positive evaluations by MikroTik installers who, by choosing it, know they can count on a truly complete and immediate navigation protection service that they can configure." 

MikroTik partners and installers particularly appreciate the advantage of instant configuration. To activate the service in a few minutes, the user synchronizes the public lP of the Mikrotik router and creates some simple rules on the MikroTik RouterOS, the operating system of MikroTik devices. Thanks to the native integration between MikroTik and FlashStart, MikroTik installers are able to create a complete Firewall and UTM solution for their customers.
