Parental controls on Vodafone 5G Home Broadband
Vodafone Secure Net Home not offered on 5G
Vodafone 5G GigaCube / Home Broadband is a fixed-wireless product. Vodafone Secure Net Home is sold with fixed-line broadband only. Add a free DNS layer at the Hub.
How to switch it on
-
01
Sign into the Vodafone 5G GigaCube admin (address printed on the device, typically 192.168.0.1).
-
02
Find DNS settings under WAN. Set DNS to Cloudflare for Families: primary 1.1.1.3, secondary 1.0.0.3.
-
03
Save and restart. Two to five minutes for devices to pick up the new DNS.
-
04
Install Apple Screen Time or Google Family Link on each child's device.

How to remove this later
Go back to your provider parental controls page, switch the filter to Off or a lighter level, then save and wait for the change window shown by your provider. If your child is older, step down one layer at a time rather than removing everything in one go.
What it covers and what it does not
Covers
Cloudflare for Families on the GigaCube blocks adult and malware across every device on its Wi-Fi.
Does not cover
No per-child profiles. Vodafone Secure Net Home is not available on the 5G home product.
Add a free DNS filter
Vodafone 5G Home Broadband does not run a network-level parental control filter. The fastest fix is to add a free DNS filter at your router. It covers every device on your Wi-Fi in one step and takes about ten minutes.
Common questions
How long does setup usually take?
Most parents can complete this in 15 minutes.
Can a child bypass this?
Network controls reduce exposure but cannot cover everything, especially mobile data and VPN bypass. Use this layer with device controls and regular check-ins.
How do I relax controls as my child gets older?
Lower one control at a time (for example strict to moderate) and review outcomes before removing all controls.
