What works where

Clear protection for every supported device.

The hub shows what is active, what needs attention and which deeper services are not connected yet. No family is charged for a control that only exists on a page.

Device or serviceManaged from the hubImportant limitation
Windows and Mac

Safer-web profile, pause normal browsing, category and domain blocks, connection status

Needs an installed protection connection. A web rule cannot control offline apps or guarantee cached, direct-IP, alternative-resolver or non-DNS traffic will stop.

Android

Safer-web profile and pause normal browsing on Wi-Fi and mobile data where the installed connection remains active

The user can remove or disable a normal consumer profile. It is not a guaranteed network cut-off; locked device management is outside the pilot.

iPhone and iPad

Safer-web profile and online destination filtering where the installed connection remains active

Apple permissions and other VPNs can limit coverage. The pilot does not claim message reading or universal app control.

Chromebook

Browser and online destination controls on a compatible enrolled connection

School-managed devices require the organisation’s permission and may reject another management profile.

Games consoles, TVs and IoT

Future home-network pause and online category rules through FDD Home

Covered only while using the FDD Home network. Built-in contact, purchase and offline play controls are not operated by this website.

Verified family email

Newly discovered credential-exposure alerts and a parent action record

Monitoring needs one-time address verification. An alert is not proof that the account was accessed or that a particular password is still in use.

Deeper device security

Planned antivirus, ransomware and unsafe-app status through an approved endpoint partner

Not connected in the pilot. No scan, quarantine or protection-state control will appear until the partner API and installed app can verify it.

Private Connection (VPN)

Planned per-device connection status and policy through a supported app

Not connected in the pilot. The website cannot create or control a device tunnel without an installed app and supplier integration.

!

No connection, no live button

VPN, DNS, web-filtering and device-management products can conflict. A control stays locked until the exact installation has checked in and a test command has been acknowledged.

See the simple family dashboard.

The private pilot keeps working controls, planned services and honest limitations clearly separated.
