Consoles, smart TVs, guest Wi-Fi: what the Box covers.
Every device on your home network is protected without installing anything on it. Here is how that works.
Apps for parental control have a blind spot: they only protect the device they are installed on. The console, the smart TV and the old tablet in the drawer stay wide open. That’s the gap the Box closes.
How it works, in one paragraph
All traffic in your home passes through your network before it reaches the internet. The Box sits right there. It doesn’t matter whether a request comes from a phone, a console or a TV: the rules for that device apply before anything loads.
What is covered at home
Without installing anything
- Phones, tablets and laptops on your Wi-Fi.
- Game consoles and handhelds.
- Smart TVs and streaming sticks.
- Friends’ devices that join your Wi-Fi.
The device your kid will try next is the one you forgot to set up. The Box doesn’t forget.
And outside the house?
On mobile data or someone else’s Wi-Fi, traffic no longer passes through your network, so the Box can’t see it. That is what KidsProxy Premium is for: with the KidsProxy app on the device, the same rules travel along.
Smartie’s tip
Check the device list once a month. New gadgets show up there first, often before anyone mentions them.
