Family WiFi Safety.
Are your parental controls actually working? Most aren't. We'll check, fix, and explain it — in your home, in plain English.
"My 7-year-old has spent 30 minutes on an adult website."
That's what my network dashboard told me one evening last year. Twenty minutes of genuine panic.
Then I started investigating — because that's what I do for a living. Turns out he was watching cartoons. The router had misread plexvideos.com as the more famous adult site that starts with the same three letters, and flagged it.
The technology that was supposed to give me peace of mind created twenty minutes of genuine anxiety instead.
I have the technical background to figure that out in twenty minutes. Most parents don't, and shouldn't have to. That's why this service exists — so you can know what's actually happening on your home network, without needing a degree in networking.
Parental controls WiFi audit — done properly.
On-site visit, four checks, written summary you can share with your partner. Same approach as our $149 WiFi assessment — focused on online safety instead of speed. The genuine version of "parental controls WiFi" that most Australian households are missing.
Parental controls audit
I'll check whether your router's controls are actually blocking what you think they're blocking. Many ship turned off out of the box, and the ones that aren't off often filter the wrong things.
DNS filtering check
If you've never changed your DNS settings, adult content loads on every device on your network — even with parental controls turned on. We check, and where appropriate, switch to a family-safe DNS service.
Bypass detection
iPhones with private relay, kids on mobile data, VPN apps, DNS-over-HTTPS in the browser — there are at least five common ways your filters get bypassed without anyone meaning to. I'll find which ones are happening on your network.
Plain-English report
No jargon. You'll know exactly what's protected, what isn't, and what your router's dashboard is actually doing — vs. what its marketing says it's doing.
Five ways your filters silently get bypassed.
None of these are deliberate. They're how modern devices work — and they're not in your router's manual.
Mobile data instead of WiFi
Your filters live on your home WiFi. The phone in their pocket has its own connection that doesn't touch your network.
iCloud Private Relay
Apple's privacy feature, on by default for Safari on iCloud+ accounts. It encrypts DNS so your filter has nothing to read.
DNS-over-HTTPS in browsers
Chrome, Edge, Firefox can all send DNS straight to Google or Cloudflare instead of through your router — many do this by default now.
VPN apps on phones / iPads
Free VPN apps on the App Store route everything off your network. Some are installed accidentally as part of "speed booster" or "battery saver" apps.
Tethering off a sibling's phone
Older sibling shares their phone hotspot. Younger sibling's tablet now has a connection that bypasses every control you set up.
Three things you won't get.
If you don't need new gear, I'll say so. Most homes don't.
One-off price. No "kids safety pro plan" you forgot to cancel.
You'll leave the visit knowing what's true and what to do about it.
