Parental Controls in Action: Keep Your Kids Safe Online
As parents, we can all agree that our primary job is to keep our children safe. Unfortunately, keeping them safe in today’s digital age includes actively monitoring online threats. While most parents are tech-savvy, online predators are highly advanced and skilled in their tactics to lure children. That’s why having the most advanced Wi-Fi network and learning how to put on parental controls can help protect your children.
Stop Online Predators and Threats Now
Home Telecom is dedicated to keeping children safe, so our MyWiFi Xtreme offers proactive home network surveillance that actively works to block suspicious activity automatically. Additionally, MyWiFi Xtreme will block visits to harmful websites by indicating that the website is not available. This MyWiFi Xtreme feature is especially valuable for today’s youth, who may accidentally type in a website that leads them to the dark web or click a link that may lead to a website that is not child-friendly.
Our intrusion prevention settings (IPS) actively monitor, notify, and immediately prevent video content hacker activity, keeping predators from spying on your home and children while they’re on their Wi-Fi-connected devices.
In the event of an attack, a security threat issue is triggered, and you’ll immediately be notified where, when and on what device.
Parental Controls Available with MyWiFi Xtreme
Much like movie ratings for parents, parental controls let you take control of your child’s online access. Here are some examples of how parental controls can restrict content:
- Filter – You can quickly block entire apps, internet categories and websites from children.
- Notifications – Receive notifications when new devices connect to your network or when Wi-Fi device time limits are exceeded.
- Usage – Compare your child’s online time by day, week, or month, including how much time they spend in an app, online or on the web.
- Schedules – Set schedules based on schooltime, dinnertime and bedtime and instantly shut off internet access to devices assigned to your child.
- Pause – Need to quickly hit pause on a child’s device? It’s now as easy as 1-2-3.
- Safe Web Searches – Google and YouTube searches will remove explicit content from your child’s search results on their devices.
