We've used homeshield for over a year without issue, but all of a sudden, it is blocking nearly everything, including all of my teens' homework, textbooks, test prep, etc... the only filter applied is "mature content."  How do I fix this?  It looks like it is blocking things like background Google applications that my untrained eye doesn't quite understand, (googleapis, gstatic, etc...).  I'm not sure I understand why all of a sudden it is doing this, but I'd really like to continue to use the program, as it is quite helpful, but they have to do homework!

 

Edited to add- after more digging, it seems to be blocking everything as "malicious malware."  I'm not sure if this is even due to parental controls with homeshield, or with the basic WiFi security of the router itself. Even Disney plus is being tagged as malicious malware.

  @AggieMJ 

I'm having basically the same issues with my Deco M5 in AP Mode.

All my hard-wired devices through my Router are AOK, as per my controls.

All my WiFi device, i.e. via the Deco in AP Mode, are getting Blocks.

On my iPhone, in WiFi, gets Blocks, while if I switch to Broad-Band, all is AOK.

It is the Deco!

  @AggieMJ  Same problem with a new Deco Mesh and HomeSecurity+.

 

Is there any solution yet?

 

Thanks

  @AggieMJ try reloading Homeshield/Security+. In the Deco/Tether app, click on the three dashes in the top left. Then click on Homeshield, and then on your Network. On the next screen, click on Confirm at the bottom, and the app will download and reinstall the Homeshield/Security+.

 

Let me know if that helps, gang.
