Hi.

I hope you can help me to enforce safe searching on my home network.

I have followed the documentation to Force Safe Search at a Network Level, but once I add the CNAME the duckduckgo.com domain doesn't resolve. 

$ curl https://duckduckgo.com
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: duckduckgo.com
$ dig 192.168.1.208 duckduckgo.com
duckduckgo.com.         0       IN      CNAME   safe.duckduckgo.com.
$ dig 192.168.1.208 safe.duckduckgo.com
safe.duckduckgo.com.    202     IN      A       52.142.126.100

I followed Google's documentation Lock SafeSearch for accounts, devices & networks you manage, which is working as expected. 

$ dig 192.168.1.208 www.google.com
www.google.com.         0       IN      CNAME   forcesafesearch.google.com.
forcesafesearch.google.com. 6654 IN     A       216.239.38.120
$ dig 192.168.1.208 forcesafesearch.google.com
forcesafesearch.google.com. 6205 IN     A       216.239.38.120

Any ideas?
