# Overview

> Overview of GoGuardian Admin support pages for filtering policies, DNS filtering, troubleshooting, and policy behavior.

GoGuardian Admin is the district control point for web filtering. Use it to create and assign [filtering policies](/products/admin/filtering-policies), review how filtering is applied, and troubleshoot why a specific site or user is getting a specific result.

**Supported platforms:** ChromeOS, Windows, macOS, iPadOS

<Note>
  GoGuardian Admin also supports [DNS filtering](/products/admin/dns-filtering) use cases such as BYOD, guest, and unmanaged-device access from the same dashboard.

## Review What GoGuardian Admin Manages

* Category-based filtering rules
* Site-specific allowlist and blocklist entries
* Policy assignment for OUs, custom groups, and supported filtering contexts
* DNS filtering for school-network traffic, including BYOD, guest, and unmanaged devices
* On-campus and out-of-school filtering behavior
* Network, subnet, and IP-level troubleshooting signals for DNS filtering
* [YouTube filtering](/products/admin/youtube-filtering) for channels, videos, keywords, categories, and playback restrictions
* Audit history and policy validation workflows

<Tip>
  Before making a broad policy change, confirm the exact target, the expected access outcome, and whether the user may be affected by more than one policy.
