FamilyGuard+ allows you to set healthy Internet usage limits, prioritise Internet access for your critical devices, and block inappropriate content easily within the intelligent Gigabit IQ mobile app.
Total Family Protection With FamilyGuard+, you can safeguard your family’s digital life in real-time. From setting screen time limits to blocking inappropriate content, our app ensures that your children are safe online, all while allowing them to enjoy a rich internet experience.
Advanced Control for Every Device Unlike most ISPs, whose parental controls can be limited or basic, FamilyGuard+ gives you control over every connected device in your home, whether it’s a smartphone, gaming console, or tablet.
App Blocking: FamilyGuard+ lets you block specific apps, such as social media platforms, providing deeper control over what your children can access. This feature is not supported by most competitors.
Instant Alerts to keep you notified of any parental control breach attempts, or any web threats, virus, malware attempts to any of your connected devices.
Google & YouTube Safe Search FamilyGuard+ ensures your children can explore the web safely with built-in Google and YouTube Safe Search. Many competitors don’t offer this level of integrated filtering across all devices.
VPN Bypass Blocking: One of the most robust security features of FamilyGuard+ is its ability to block VPN attempts—something most ISPs fail to protect against. Stay one step ahead of tech-savvy teens.
