Top Tips for Parental Controls you can add at home now
There can be lots of different reasons your internet connection is slow. Some common problems include:
Filter Content
Parental Controls are built into many devices’ operating systems, such Apple’s OS and Microsoft Windows. By configuring these settings you can limit your children’s access to inappropriate or mature content. Settings work differently on every device, so consult these guides for Apple and Windows.
Use 3rd Party Services
Third-party parental control services such as NetNanny can give you full access to what your kids are doing online. With these Apps, you can monitor your kids’ phones which is useful if you're concerned about conversations they may be having
Set Parental Controls directly with your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
Many ISPs offer parental controls directly on the internet coming into your home, so inappropriate content is blocked before it even reaches your devices. You can contact us or our ISP provider about how to apply restrictions on their service. Keep in mind, that this only works on your wifi and if gets have devices with mobile data, this won’t have any effect.
Keep your devices up to date
By keeping all your devices and anti-malware software up to date, you ensure that no bugs or hackers can get access.
Add Parental Controls on Video Sites
The likes of Disney+, Netflix and YouTube all have parental control settings, which can help block out inappropriate content. By configuring these apps for kids, you also block out any ad content that is not suitable for children.
