Plume HomePass parental controls

WightFibre is the Isle of Wight's incumbent fibre provider, operating its own network independent of Openreach since 2001. Parental controls run through the Plume HomePass app, which ships with their SuperPod-based Whole Home Wi-Fi.

Honest limits

What it covers and what it does not

Covers

Every device assigned to a person. Per-person bedtime, freeze, and content filtering with AI Security against malware.

Does not cover

Encrypted apps, mobile data, devices not assigned to a person, and devices on a VPN.

Also do this

Even with Plume HomePass 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.
