Why Is Pausing The Internet Important?

The Internet is full of positive opportunities for children to have fun, educate and even develop their creative side. That’s why kids (and parents) can’t get enough of it! But accessing the Internet is also a privilege and can be a distraction from important things like schoolwork or simply connecting with family.

Pause Internet is a parental control solution that makes it quick and easy to enforce screen time rules.

No more asking your kids to set up the iPad three times or turn off Netflix and start their homework. You can stop worrying about everyone checking their phones during dinner. And the struggle to block apps during peak hours of the day may now be over.

To pause, the desired device is deactivated by entering the device management menu. At the same time, this feature is active when the devices are first connected to the network and prevents the device from accessing the Internet.

Benefits Of Device Management

Device Management puts the internet access of the people involved in the network under the control of the parents. With this feature, users can be given group assignments, validity dates and internet access.

Inactively adding the people included in the Wi-Fi network to the system prevents man-in-the-middle attacks and creates a safe area in the house.

There is no big red “easy button” in life, especially for parents. But when it comes to parental controls, the closest thing to that button is our Pause Internet feature. When you can simply turn off the internet on connected devices, you won’t have to worry too much about competing with devices for your family’s attention.

Advantages Of Pausing The Internet

• Have a phone-free dinner together.
• Do your homework without being distracted.
• Push undisputed screen time limits.
• Encourage more time outdoors.

Whatever your reason for limiting Internet access at certain times, the ease of the Pause feature is unrivaled. With just a few taps, you can pause or unpause a single device (like your son’s third arm, namely the iPad), pause all connected devices, or pause Internet access for a single family member, including your workaholic spouse’s phone at dinner. .

If one of your kids is prone to sneaking in video games when they need to be upstairs to clean their room, you can restrict their personal profile from accessing the Internet entirely. After you finish cleaning, you can resume. Pretty simple, right?

What Internet Pausing Can Do For You ?

KidsWall is a family Internet filter that does more than just block inappropriate websites and monitor web browsing history. When the internet is paused, devices cannot be online at all, which means anyone can disconnect and focus.

Maybe for a game night you want the family to focus on each other rather than the screens. Maybe your kids need to focus on getting their work done. Or maybe you went into the Usage feature and overestimated everyone’s screen time this week. Whatever your reasons, pausing the Internet is a great way to quickly remind your crew to focus. The timing is entirely up to you. When you are ready, you can continue.

Why Is A Firewall Important?

Firewall systems are divided into hardware-based and software-based. A software-based firewall is usually installed in operating systems on clients and servers. Because they can be installed on a single network and have a simpler structure, they are often preferred in home computers for individual purposes. Hardware-based firewall, on the other hand, only works with firewall devices and is developed for structures that need more complex network security systems, such as companies. Whether it is software or hardware based; Firewalls are equally important for all systems and take on a very valuable task such as threat management in attacks that may come from the internet.

How Does A Firewall Work?

The menu, which offers options such as rejecting incoming requests, accepting and dropping directly, can also be used to add rules for which protocols can provide access or not.

How Port Forwarding Works 

In the menu that allows the user to add port rules to the devices registered in the system, rules can be written by the user in order to determine which device the protocols will process the requests from outside and which port they will be forwarded to.

Why Should You Use Port Forwarding?

Why Are Internet Content Filters Important?

For parents, the Internet offers tons of positive things, including entertainment and educational opportunities for your kids. It can even be an outlet for creativity! But the Internet can also be a scary place to imagine your kids browsing without limits. Many parents of the digital age are looking for a family Internet filter that provides additional control over age-appropriate content and screen time, beyond what a router or even mobile device settings can do.

If you’ve ever tried a router as your parental control solution, you already know, the options are limited and probably not worth your time to figure it out.

By setting the Web Filter feature, parents can easily select apps, devices, games, streaming services, and websites that require limitation or restriction. Then add filters as appropriate for each family member’s profile.

You can change Internet filters with a few taps on your phone.

Benefits Of Internet Filtering In Apps And Devices

Managing and monitoring your children’s Internet habits can be difficult. KidsWall can do all the hard work for you. Our parental controls are fully customizable for their age and interests, allowing you to choose a filter level for each member of the family.

• Want to allow TikTok but block Facebook?
• Need to make sure your child never accesses dating sites?
• Want to block a specific website?
• Want to let your kids listen to music regardless of screen time?

We address all of these concerns and more. KidsWall divides the Internet into a number of popular platforms and categories. These platforms include both apps and websites. For example, when you set a content filter for YouTube, it will be applied to both the website and the app.

If you know your kids are spending an unhealthy amount of time on social media or video games, you can restrict those apps through their individual profiles. Certain websites that you know your kids shouldn’t visit can also be blocked, and you can check what they’re visiting at any time.

How Does Family Internet Filtering Work?

With the filter, parents can be assured that their family will have an online experience designed just for them.

Setting up and navigating the filter feature is simple. After entering the KidsWall application, it is sufficient to choose which device or group you want to apply to by typing the address of the website they want from the web filtering tab.

Kidswall allows you to assign different filter level defaults to each family member profile. You can assign a profile to Child, Teen, Adult, or None.

Why Internet And Screen Time Limits Matter?

Research shows that too much screen time is bad for your kids’ development, but it’s not always easy to limit their Internet access. The Center for Disease shared that the average screen time of 8-year-olds was 6 hours, and it only increased from there. Between the ages of 11-14, an average of 9 hours a day; Those aged 15-18 spend an average of 7.5 hours a day, and those aged 18+ spend 11 hours in front of a screen. This is almost every hour of the day.

Wouldn’t it be helpful if the Internet came with its own timer to help prevent your kids from overdoing it on the Internet?

Time Limits gives parents the freedom to stop worrying about how much time their kids spend on apps or websites that aren’t positively engaging their minds. Plus, it’s easy to check how your kids spend most of their screen time to understand where boundaries need to be set in the future.

With just a few taps, you can make sure your kids don’t binge watch YouTube videos instead of studying. All you have to do is set your family’s Time Limits.

Benefits Of Time Limits For Internet And Screen Time

• With Time Limits you can profile each family member and walk away knowing that your kids are safe from too many good things: the internet.
• Instead of constantly looking over your kids’ shoulders to check if they’re still on social media, with Time Limits you can set these apps to be no longer available after 30 minutes.
• Customize Time Limits for each family member's profiles. Monitor your children's internet usage.
• Time Limits, preset weekdays and weekends to suit your family’s needs, take one more thing off your mental to-do list. During the week, when your children need to focus on their school work, you can stop their internet access with time restrictions.
• At night, when you've put your kids to bed, you don't have to worry about your children browsing the internet if you've activated the KidsWall Time Limit feature. It has the ability to completely disable internet access on any device from bedtime to wake-up time.

How Internet And Screen Time Limits Work

Each family member profile has its own specific Time Limits for the daily time limit. Internet access cannot be used when the time limit feature is activated on a device or profile.

For example, to set a Daily Time Limit, all you have to do is create a rule through the Speed ​​Limit menu. Don’t forget to save by selecting the day and time interval in which the relevant family member or profile will not be able to access the internet!

You can easily change the rule and change a Time Limit setting for any of your family profiles at any time. 

What Can Time Limits Do For You?

With the Time Limits feature, you can be as broad or as specific as you want regarding the allowed time online. Set daily and weekly time limits for the total time a family member can spend online. By setting a Daily Time Limit, you can ensure that your children do not exceed the screen time that is safe for their age on any given day.

Why Is Speed ​​Limiting Feature Important?

The fact that your children can access the internet at high speeds enables them to use the internet at full capacity. High speed internet provides fluency in games and videos. So what happens if we disrupt this fluency by lowering the speed limit?

When the speed limit drops, the fluency in the videos decreases proportionally. This causes children to give up while watching videos and allows them to walk away from the screen without feeling banned.

Just as the performance in videos is reduced by the speed limit, the same is true for games. Since low speed causes freezes and disconnections in games, the child will not enjoy the game they play. This will cause him to stay away from the games.

Restricting your children’s internet speed will help you avoid possible technology and screen addictions.

Benefits Of Speed ​​Limiting Feature

Without making your children feel that you are setting limits, you can make them give up on their habits.

By setting speed limits not only for children but also for guests coming home, you allow efficient use of the internet between devices.

How Does It Work ?

Installation Usage is simple. After registering the device of the relevant family member or guest, it will be enough to save the rule by pressing the add rule button on the speed restriction screen, adding the device of the family member you want and the speed you want.

What Can It Do For You?

KidsWall isn't just about managing all your family's devices; it allows you to manage and track how everyone on your family network spends time online. With speed throttling, you have control over the internet speed each family member experiences. For example, if you know one of your kids is constantly streaming videos, you can block the platforms they use to watch videos or lower the speed limit for your child's device to prevent this.

Why Is Internet History Feature Important?

If you’ve noticed that you don’t know where your kids are spending their time online, don’t panic. The Internet History feature is here to help you. With just a few taps on your smartphone, you can check which sites your family members visit and manage which ones are filtered, all from one app.

Monitoring your children’s web history may seem strange at first, but the main thing is to keep them safe online. Knowing what types of sites they visit will help you identify problem areas before they become real issues. Setting safe and healthy boundaries or blocking content in these areas will be easy once you know what your kids control online.

Have you seen your child visit a website that you think is inappropriate? Tap to set it to “Not allowed”. See something in the Filtered view that is really suitable for your child to see? Tap to set it to “Allowed”. Want to make sure a site is always allowed and not tracked for online time? Tap to set it as “Unmanaged”.

Knowledge is power when it comes to protecting your children. With the Internet History feature, you no longer need to guess or make assumptions. You can be sure you know what your kids are viewing online.

Advantages Of Internet History Feature

• There’s always more content for your kids to explore online. The Internet History feature records any site they visit. All you have to do is check your kids’ profiles to see what they’re viewing.
• Internet History Helps You Monitor Your Kids’ Online Habits
• Overuse in apps and websites.
• Identify potential problem areas.
• Filter any website from a profile.

How The History Feature Works

KidsWall monitors the online traffic of each device assigned to a profile and displays it chronologically in the History view. The web browsing history that will be visible is only that of the selected profile. 

View Visited Sites

This view displays the sites and applications visited or used on all devices assigned to that profile. You can keep scrolling back up to a week to view the sites visited at a detailed level.

Set Sites To Allowed

Setting a site to “allowed” in one of your family member profiles means that devices in that profile are allowed to continue to visit the site and the site will continue to be tracked for history and usage. If you notice that something really good is filtered out for your kids to see, you can set it to “allowed”.

Set Sites To Not Allowed

Setting a site to “not allowed” in one of your family member profiles means that the site is completely blocked and can no longer be used on any of their devices.

What Can The History Feature Do For You?

In the History feature, you can get a detailed picture of where everyone in your family is spending time online. You can even view the date and time sites were visited when you select a family member’s profile and start navigating between visited or filtered.

You can also go one step further. The link will be visible whether the site is blocked or not. From here, if it’s not clear what kind of content the URL links to, you can check it yourself by clicking.
