Honest limits

What it covers and what it does not

Covers

Every device assigned to a child profile, with activity log of blocked attempts.

Does not cover

Encrypted apps, devices not in a profile, mobile data, and devices on a VPN.

Also do this

Even with eero Secure (included free) 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.
