For Windows PCs · macOS & Linux coming soon
What you get
Real protection, not just screen-time nagging
Web & DNS filtering
Harmful and adult content is blocked at the network level on every device — not just in one browser.
Safe-browser lockdown
Browsing is kept to a single, filtered browser. Private/incognito and hidden-DNS workarounds are switched off.
Risky-app blocking
Unapproved apps and sketchy installers are stopped before they run.
Tamper-resistant
Protections run as the system, not the child. Kids can't just switch them off.
Every family PC
One plan covers all your family's Windows PCs. macOS and Linux are coming soon.
Kept up to date
Security updates stay on, so devices don't drift out of protection.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is this spyware?
No. FamilyProtect enforces safety protections you choose — web and DNS filtering, safe-browser lockdown, and risky-app blocking. It is not a hidden surveillance tool. We do not read message contents, keystrokes, photos, or microphone data. You decide what is switched on, and our Privacy Policy lists exactly what we collect and why.
Can my child just turn it off?
No. Protections run with system privileges on each enrolled Windows PC. Your child should use a standard (non-administrator) Windows account, which means they cannot disable filtering, change DNS settings, uninstall the agent, or install unapproved software including alternate browsers. If something breaks, FamilyProtect automatically repairs the configuration within minutes.
What devices does it work on?
Windows today. One subscription covers all of your family's Windows PCs — there are no per-device fees. macOS and Linux support is coming soon; we ship new platforms only when protection is as tamper-resistant as the Windows experience. FamilyProtect does not support iPhone or Android yet.
Does FamilyProtect work on iPhone or Android?
Not yet. FamilyProtect is built for Windows PCs today. Mobile parental controls from Google and Apple work differently — they govern accounts and apps on the phone, not the whole home network. If you need phone coverage today, built-in Screen Time or Family Link may help alongside FamilyProtect on your family's PCs.
How is this different from Bark or Qustodio?
Bark and Qustodio focus on monitoring and screen time across many platforms — including reading messages and social alerts on phones. FamilyProtect takes a different approach: tamper-resistant device and network enforcement on Windows PCs without covert monitoring. We filter DNS and web traffic for the entire PC, block VPN bypasses, and lock browsing to a single filtered browser. See our comparison page for a full feature matrix.
Is there a free plan?
No. FamilyProtect is one flat paid plan that covers every Windows PC in your family. Free DNS services like OpenDNS can filter at the router, but they are easy for a child to bypass with mobile data, a VPN, or a second browser. FamilyProtect is designed for families who want enforcement that holds up — not just a DNS IP address on the fridge.
What data do you collect?
Only what is needed to enforce the protections you enable: device inventory, filtering and policy status, and web/DNS activity on protected devices so we can allow or block requests. We do not collect message contents, keystrokes, photos, or social-media content. Full detail — including retention and your rights — is in our Privacy Policy.
How do I cancel?
Anytime from your account dashboard. FamilyProtect is a rolling monthly subscription with no contract. Cancel before your next billing date and you will not be charged again. Removing devices and deleting your account are documented in our billing help article.
