Deep Packet Filter (DPF) analyses and blocks adverts, malware, tracking, telemetry and phishing at the network level — before any of it reaches your device. No hardware, no software, just a DNS change. £5.49 per month, no contract. About 70% of the data delivered to a typical connection was never requested — adverts, trackers, telemetry and background noise. DPF deletes this before it arrives, freeing real bandwidth and speeding up your whole network. What DPF blocks: - All adverts — banner ads, video pre-rolls, pop-ups and in-page advertising across every website and app. - Malware — known malware distribution domains, ransomware callbacks and drive-by download sites, blocked before they reach any device. - Tracking — invisible trackers, pixel beacons, cross-site analytics and fingerprinting scripts that follow you across the web. - Telemetry — background telemetry, OS analytics and silent auto-reporting that consumes bandwidth and erodes privacy. - Phishing — phishing sites, fraud domains and scam infrastructure, updated continuously from multiple threat feeds. - In-app adverts — ads inside mobile apps, games and smart-TV applications, across every device on your network at once. How it works: DPF operates at the DNS layer. You choose a plan, receive your primary and secondary DPF DNS server addresses by email, change the DNS settings on your device, router or DHCP server, and protection is active immediately — no reboot, no app, no configuration beyond the DNS change. Every device on the network is then protected. Any device, instantly: Works on phones, tablets, laptops, Smart TVs, routers, IoT devices and entire corporate networks — all from one DNS change. Set it on your router and every device behind it is covered automatically. Aviation and satellite grade: DPF is used by airlines globally and is proven on high-latency satellite, ATG and EAN networks where every byte counts. By stripping unrequested data at source it lowers contention and improves responsiveness on exactly the kind of costly, congested links where it matters most. Admin controls included: - White-list and black-list controls - Admin tools - User service blocking - User social blocking - User content blocking - No contract, cancel any time - 24/7 UK customer support from real engineers Protecting networks globally: 86,499 active users, 9.1M adverts blocked, 47.8M URLs stopped and thousands of GB of bandwidth saved — updated continuously.

The Front End Dashboard is a web-based cloud control panel for managing the Transcom dropcatch engine remotely — submit domains, monitor drops and review results from your browser, without touching the command line. £18/month. What it does: - Manage your dropcatch engine from a single web dashboard, anywhere. - Submit domains to catch and monitor their status live. - Review catch results, including the chronological EPP timing data the engine produces. - Control the engine remotely rather than running scripts over SSH by hand. Free upgrade for existing software owners: If you purchased Transcom's SSH dropcatch software in the past, you can upgrade free of charge to the new engine and use this web-based cloud dashboard to manage it remotely. The new engine is a complete rewrite for Nominet's time-release drop process. Built for the modern engine: The dashboard drives the current dropcatch engine, which uses multiple non-blocking EPP sockets and a proprietary algorithm that streams EPP writes in blocks. It surfaces the engine's seven chronological result points and latency computation so you can judge the best moment to fire EPP creates — all from the web interface instead of the console. Ideal for anyone who owns or leases the catching engine and wants a clean, remote way to drive it. Works alongside the Multicore Dropcatch VPS and the owned or leased engine options.
Transcom Dropcatch is a professional online dropcatching platform for expiring .uk, .co.uk, .org.uk and .me.uk domains registered with Nominet. The Free Access plan lets anyone submit and monitor catches with no upfront fees and no submission limits — you pay only when a domain is successfully caught. Built and operated from Brighton since 1993. Pay only on a catch: There are no submission fees, no listing fees, no minimum quantities and no contract. You submit the domains you want, the system monitors them live, and you're only charged if and when a catch succeeds. Pricing is per successful catch by mode: - Fast — £10 + VAT — quick catches across the standard drop. - Multi — £25 + VAT — unlimited submissions, any quantity, for any domain except high-value premium names. - Single — £50 + VAT — full dedicated resources for premium and hard-to-catch names such as short/3-character domains. How it works: - Simple two-line registration — your username can be anything, but for consistency use your Nominet IPS TAG or Acorn account if you have one. - You don't need to be a Nominet TAG holder to use the service. - Submission is fully automatic — the system inserts the expiry and drop dates and allocates resources, filtering out any domains not in the expired window. - Status updates are live — when a domain is caught, a FastPay link appears next to the result with payment options. - Every result shows which system cluster made the catch (CAUGHT-XX), so you can see the engine behind each win. Precision catching technology: The platform uses real-time Nominet drop monitoring, pre-warmed sockets and NTP-synced precision firing over the EPP/DAC process, run from fast, low-RTT infrastructure close to the Nominet backend. This is the same proven engine that powers Transcom's leased and owned dropcatch products. Caught a domain — then what: - Caught domains appear in your records and in the public Just Caught list (unless you prefer to keep them private). - List caught domains for sale on the integrated auction site with no listing fees. - Leave the domain on Transcom's TAG with renewal at current rates, or transfer it out to your own TAG. - Optional RDHE add-on (£10 + VAT per year) provides Registration, Hosting and Email for new domains — instant DNS, a holding page and catch-all email with webmail, IMAP and SMTP, or forwarding to an existing address. Integrated live auctions: The service includes its own live auction facility — submit and bid on domains of any TLD, with no listing fees and no limit on submissions. Sell your caught domains or pick up others' directly through the platform. For heavier or self-run catching: If you run your own dropcatch setup or own Transcom's software, dedicated multi-core server resources can be allocated for premium, hard-to-catch names. Leased and owned engine options are also available for those who want to catch under their own TAG and settle with Nominet directly at preferential rates. Free to start: no card needed to register and submit. You only ever pay on a successful catch — making it a genuinely no-risk way to chase expiring UK domains.
