Early Access KidShield Now Open for Trial!
KidShield is a fantastic tool for parents who want to ensure their child's online safety. Unlike the regular HomeShield Parental Control, which only functions when clients are connected to home Wi-Fi, KidShield Parental Control surpasses this limitation. Additionally, even if clients enable Randomize MAC address, KidShield's safeguards remain effective. By using KidShield, you can foster a safe and secure digital environment, allowing your child to explore the internet while you maintain control and supervision.
Is KidShield free for users?

I start trying the KidShield.
some comments:
1- When we block the parameter, it block the wifi and Bluetooth button also so my kids can't connect our speaker or other devices on the phone.
2- When we block the phone (ie: for the night), he can't put is alarm for wake-up
3- On the iPhone, we can't change the parameters on the Deco apps, it always write to go on a computer to configure the phone but I never found where. I search it but never found it.
phones: Samsung S21, Samsung S22, iPhone 8
