# Filtering Settings

Use Chromebook filtering settings to control how Chromebooks can use the internet and what content they can access.

Deep Freeze MDM features both universal and group-specific web filter settings. The settings described here are universal; they will be applied to all Chromebooks in the system.

1. Go to *MDM > Settings*.
2. Click the Chromebook icon.
3. Click the *Filtering Settings* tab. Edit the filtering settings as required.
   * Force SafeSearch on Google, Yahoo, and Bing – enable this option to require all Chromebooks to filter out explicit content using SafeSearch when conducting Google searches, and equivalent content-control software when using Yahoo or Bing.
   *  Block Direct IP Access – Savvy users can bypass URL-based web filtering by entering an IP address rather than a URL into their browser's address bar. Enable this option to prevent Chromebook users from accessing websites in this manner.
