Effective January 13, 2012, GFI's ClearCloud DNS service will be discontinued and
no longer available for consumer use. While we have many loyal ClearCloud DNS users,
we have found that most customers prefer the more robust web filtering solution available
as a feature in our VIPRE Premium
product. We would like to thank all of the beta
testers for their valuable feedback throughout this last 12 month evaluation period.
To discontinue using the ClearCloud DNS service, you will need to reconfigure your
network connection. If this is not done prior to January 13, 2012, your Internet
connectivity will be interrupted.
