How it works

Simple for parents.
Serious about security.

1

Plug it in and walk away

Connect FamilyGuard between your router and your home network. Every device — phones, tablets, consoles, laptops — is immediately protected. No configuration, no IT knowledge, nothing to install on each device.

2

Protection that can't be bypassed

FamilyGuard works at the network layer. It blocks DNS-over-HTTPS, VPN workarounds, and alternative DNS servers — the tricks tech-savvy children use to route around app-based controls. If a device is on your network, it's protected.

3

You stay in control

When your child requests access to a blocked site, you get a notification with a plain-English summary and guidance from other parents who've made the same decision. Approve or deny in seconds — you always have the final say.

From the founder
"Parents are living in a world where the internet changes faster than any guideline can keep up with. With no clear direction from governments, most are left to figure it out alone. I built FamilyGuard to give families something practical — protection that just works, and the confidence to make the right calls when it matters."

Questions

What parents ask most.

Does it protect every device, including phones and consoles?
Yes. FamilyGuard works at the network level, so every device that connects to your home Wi-Fi or network is protected automatically — smartphones, tablets, laptops, games consoles, smart TVs. You don't need to install anything on each device.
Can children bypass it with a VPN or by changing DNS settings?
FamilyGuard is designed to block the most common workarounds — including VPN apps, DNS-over-HTTPS, and alternative DNS servers. This makes it significantly more robust than app-based controls, which tech-savvy children can often route around in minutes.
Will it work with my existing router?
FamilyGuard is designed to sit inline between your existing router and your home network, so it works with almost any router setup. You keep your current broadband and router — FamilyGuard just adds a layer of protection on top.
Is my family's browsing data sent to the cloud?
Browsing history and device activity are designed to stay on the FamilyGuard device in your home by default. The community guidance features use anonymous allow or block signals — not named children or detailed browsing timelines.
