This guide explains how to properly integrate your DNSFilter environment with Timus.

2. Create a New Site

After signing in:

• Go to Deployments → Sites
• Click on Add Site

3. Add Your Timus Gateway Public IP Address

Note:
You can find this IP address in Timus Manager:

• Click the three dots at the end of the row
• Select Details
• The IP address will be shown at the top right as IP Address

After entering the IP:

• Save it
• Click Save Site to complete the setup in DNSFilter

4. Check Site Status

• Go back to Deployments → Sites
• At this stage, the site status will appear as Inactive (this is expected)

5. Copy DNSFilter Resolver IPs

In the DNSFilter dashboard, you will see the DNS resolvers at the bottom-middle of the page:

• IPv4 Primary
• IPv4 Secondary

Please copy both IP addresses

6. Configure DNS Settings in Timus

• Go to Timus Manager → Sites

• Click Save

7. Wait for Synchronization

• The synchronization process may take up to 15 minutes
• You can monitor the status under DNSFilter → Deployments → Sites

Once the integration is completed, the status will change to:
➡️ Protected

8. Usage

After the integration is complete:

• You can use DNSFilter features such as category-based filtering
• You may use both Timus Web Filter and DNSFilter together
• Or choose to use only one of them, based on your needs
