So, you can determine limits and choose the appropriate time for the device use. Keep reading to find out more about Net Nanny features. Net Nanny applies a filtering technology to analyze and examine the content of the websites continually. Net Nanny categorizes all websites considering the age of the users. You can choose, which category would be appropriate for the child or create a custom category with personal white- and blacklists.
Net Nanny allows parents to set restrictions regarding the content their children view. You can deny access to any website you consider inappropriate. Net Nanny aims to keep the inappropriate and adult-oriented content away from the kids. The Net Nanny app ensures the safety of your kids online by offering such features:.
The majority of youngsters love playing mobile games and chatting with friends. Being busy with their favorite activities they lose track of time. We will never ask you to call or text a phone number or share personal information. This thread was archived. Please ask a new question if you need help. Have been using Firefox for years. Then recently installed "net nanny" software and it changed the security settings of Firefox.
I cannot access secure https sites at all regardless of whether the net nanny software is even uninstalled. Net Nanny does support a multi-user setup though, so a parent can maintain an unrestricted account for themselves while monitoring their child's account on the same device. Qustodio and Kaspersky Safe Kids do not support this feature on Android.
Next, assign the device to a child. Then, enable push notifications, location permissions, and follow the steps to install the MDM profile. That's it. Note that Net Nanny includes an Uninstall Protection option you can enable from the parental dashboard. On Windows, macOS, Android, and Kindle devices, this option prevents your kid from uninstalling the app without entering the account password.
If your child removes or otherwise disables the monitoring app, parents will get a notification. You can also block your child from accessing the Settings app on a monitored Android device.
The Parent Dashboard is where you manage Net Nanny's parental control settings, but it is surprisingly difficult to find on Net Nanny's home page. Some elements and menus have moved around since the time of our last review, which helps it feel less cramped. The interface performs better this time around, too.
You navigate Net Nanny's interface via icons in the top menu bar, one for Overview and the rest for individual child profiles. On the right-hand side of the menu, you can access Net Nanny's App Advisor to discover popular apps your kids may be using, as well as add child profiles and manage your installations.
Unfortunately, you have to go back to the main Net Nanny site to manage your subscription. There is not an option to enable two-factor authentication on your account either, which we would like to see. The Overview section shows the Family Feed on the left-hand side, which is an ongoing list of notifications about a child's activities, including search terms, blocked sites, app installations, and screen time schedules.
In the center of the page, there's a map with pinpoints marking the current location of each monitored child. You can't view location history from this screen, but you can browse around the map and perform quick monitoring actions like pausing device or internet time or enabling a time schedule. For the full range of settings, click into the child profile icon in the top menu. In the child profile section, you still see the Family Feed in the left-hand corner, but the middle sections change.
At the top, you can see how much time a child has used their device and how much they have left in the Screen Time Allowance section. Additionally, you can choose which time schedule is in effect.
The Profile Settings button to the left of that module with the gear icons is where you configure the rules. Among those are daily screen time allocation, internet filters, website blocking, app blocking, a profanity filter, a force Safe Search option, and app removal protection.
In the center of the child profile page, you can also see an overview of searches, current and historical location, screen time usage, YouTube activity, and a running list of blocks and alerts. Starting with Net Nanny's filters, you can set each of the pre-created categories to Allow, Alert, or Block.
Allow lets a child access the site and does not record the instance. Alert also lets the kid browse to the site, but it records the instance. The Block setting prevents a child from accessing the site and creates a record of the activity.
Other parental control services offer a far greater number of preconfigured options, including Proxies, VPNs, File Sharing, and Social Media categories. While it's true that parents can set up custom Content Filters as we discuss below , we would prefer if Net Nanny preconfigured more options. Besides, some parents may not even know what additional categories they need to block manually. Setting up a custom Content Filter is a bit confusing. When you hit the Create a New Filter Button, the top field is for the name of the custom filter, not the term you want to filter.
To add terms to the filter, hit the plus button below it, enter the phrase, and then hit Add. Initially, we thought that the Filter name was the word that we wanted to filter. The good news is that filter words are not restricted by Mobicip's ridiculous five-character minimum requirement.
You get the same monitoring options: Allow, Alert, and Block for each of your custom categories. Blocking or allowing individual websites is simple. Just add a website to the Always Block or Always Allow categories via the plus button.
Thanks again for the response. Trying to work it from two angles hoping to get it fixed. Having both computers blocked from the internet is a big inconvenience as you can imagine. Luckily, I can get my Web fix at work, but my wife is not so lucky. You can Send me a Private Message if you do not want to post them in the thread. Thanks again. Powered by inSided.
