Honest limits

What it covers and what it does not

Covers

Per-child profiles with category filters and schedules across every device on home Wi-Fi.

Does not cover

Mobile data, encrypted apps, VPNs, devices not assigned to any profile.

Also do this

Even with My CB Wi-Fi App parental controls turned on, adding a free DNS layer adds a second line of cover and closes some of the gaps. It takes about ten minutes and works on every device on your home Wi-Fi.
