Features
The policy loop is visible from device to admin.
-
Category policies per group
Block UT1 content categories per policy group — adult, gambling, malware, AI chat tools, and more — from the admin console.
-
Allow and block lists
Tenant-wide allowlists override category blocks; blocklists add domains on top of URLhaus, OpenPhish, and PhishTank feeds.
-
Threat indicator feeds
URLhaus, OpenPhish, and PhishTank ship in an ed25519-signed gzip bundle refreshed every 15 minutes. Agents verify the signature before trusting a bundle.
-
Local block page
Blocked DNS queries sinkhole to 127.0.0.1 with the domain, category, source feed, and policy group on screen. A desktop toast shows the reason.
-
False-positive review queue
End users submit a review request from the block page. It lands in the admin queue with the original policy reason and device context attached.
-
Device audit and block feed
Every block writes a JSONL audit record on the endpoint. In managed mode, events also post to the admin block feed at /v1/report.
-
Offline filtering from cache
Blocklist and policy live in a local cache — %PROGRAMDATA%\ClearScreen on Windows, /var/lib/clearscreen on Linux. If the edge is unreachable, the last verified bundle keeps filtering.
-
DoH upstream, no TLS decryption
Allowed queries forward upstream over DoH to Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and are cached. No TLS inspection, PAC file, or network gateway in the policy path.
-
Standalone and managed enrollment
Standalone runs on a public bundle with default policy — no account required. Run clearscreen enroll <key> to exchange an enrollment key at /v1/enroll for a device-scoped API key and central policy.
How it works.
-
Deploy the agent
Install the Go binary on Windows, Linux, or macOS. The agent binds 127.0.0.1:53, sets system DNS to loopback, and restores the resolver on stop.
-
Set policy per group
Choose blocked UT1 categories, add tenant allowlists and blocklists, and assign policy groups from the admin console. Managed agents pull policy from /v1/policy.
-
Review on device and in admin
Blocked domains show a local block page with the reason. False-positive reports land in the admin queue. Block events export as CSV or JSON.
Start with one policy group.
Deploy the agent to a pilot fleet, set UT1 categories, and review blocks on device before a wider rollout.
