Family Internet Safety & Home Network Protection
Knox NetGuard helps families protect children online using router-level protection, smart device controls, and parent-led education – without surveillance, spying, or invasive monitoring.
Today’s internet wasn’t built with families in mind. Most parental control apps focus on individual devices, can be easy for kids to bypass, or rely on constant monitoring that erodes trust. Knox NetGuard starts where protection is strongest: your home network.
We help parents take control of internet safety in a way that is practical, transparent, and scalable – protecting every device in your home while keeping parents firmly in the lead.
Internet Safety Starts at the Home Network
Most online risks don’t begin on a phone – they begin before content ever reaches a device.
Knox NetGuard uses network-first internet safety, meaning protection is applied at the router level using DNS filtering and secure network configuration. This approach works across phones, tablets, laptops, gaming consoles, smart TVs, and any device connected to your Wi-Fi.
By filtering harmful content at the network level, families gain:
Protection that works automatically
Coverage for every device, even new ones
Fewer loopholes and bypass tricks
Less reliance on invasive monitoring apps
This creates a safer digital environment without turning parenting into surveillance.
DNS Filtering and Network Level Internet Security
We configure family-safe DNS filtering at the router to block adult content, malicious sites, and unsafe categories before they ever load. This network-level internet safety protects every device on your home Wi-Fi automatically, helps prevent VPN and proxy bypass attempts, and enforces SafeSearch and YouTube Restricted Mode where supported.
SafeSearch and YouTube Restrictions
Many online risks come from search results and video recommendations. We help families properly enable Google and Bing SafeSearch and configure YouTube Restricted Mode to reduce exposure to inappropriate content. These settings work alongside network-level filtering to create a safer browsing and viewing experience for children of all ages.
Device & App Parental Controls
Every device has built-in parental controls - but most families aren’t shown how to use them well. We help parents configure iOS Screen Time, Android Family Link, and Windows or macOS child accounts to limit access, manage apps, and set healthy boundaries. Stay in control, without constant oversight or invasive monitoring.
Router Level Parental Controls
Parental controls work best when they start at the router. Knox NetGuard configures router-level controls to manage device access, schedules, and basic network rules for kids’ devices. This adds another layer of home network protection that works across phones, tablets, computers, gaming systems, and smart devices — without relying on monitoring apps.
Safe Gaming & Online Play Controls
Online games often include voice chat, messaging, and contact with strangers. Knox NetGuard helps parents configure age-appropriate safety settings for popular gaming platforms like Roblox, Minecraft, Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation. Get guidance on chat controls, friend permissions, multiplayer settings, and in-game purchases. Help your kids enjoy gaming more safely.
Parent Education and Family Safety Conversation
Technology alone isn’t enough. We equip parents with clear guidance on online risks, common bypass techniques, and healthy family technology rules. We also help parents teach kids how to report concerns, ask for help, and understand expectations. Education turns internet safety into ongoing conversations - not battles.
Family Internet Safety, Built the Right Way
Knox NetGuard helps families create a safer home internet environment by starting at the network and building outward — not by spying on kids or flooding parents with alerts.
Our approach combines router-level protection, device and platform controls, and parent education to reduce online risks while keeping trust intact. Every setup is tailored to your home, your children’s ages, and your comfort level with technology.
There is no single tool that makes the internet “safe.” But with the right layers in place – and parents staying involved – families can confidently use technology without feeling overwhelmed or outpaced.
Knox NetGuard doesn’t replace parenting.
It supports it.

Yes. Network-level DNS filtering applies to all devices connected to your home Wi-Fi, including phones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. We also help configure device- and platform-specific settings where appropriate.
