There is no silver bullet to providing good Parental Controls on devices attached to the home network, but Fingbox gets pretty close. It’s easy to set up and use, gives you an incredible amount of insights into your home network and the attached devices, making your home network more secure in the process, and allows parents to gain more control over their children’s online time. But, what’s not to love about the Fingbox and the Fing app?
The setup is extremely easy: plug in and discover devices. Then, once you have devices attach them to users. Then you can set up pause rules for your kids and all of their devices are paused. You can quickly identify security holes or unknown devices. Blocking devices is just a click. The price point is quite reasonable, especially since you aren’t paying a monthly subscription service like other parental control offerings. You set something as allowed, paused, or blocked. And you learn all about the connected devices on your network. This is a must-have for parents who want to ensure their kids are studying or sleeping or just off of their connected devices at a particular time.
