Familoop safeguard

A Windows PC. I've reviewed Familoop Safeguard (for iPhone) separately. Please read that review for full details; I'll summarize here. Many parental control systems give iOS short shrift, figuring it's too difficult to perform their tasks in Apple's tightly-controlled environment. Familoop takes an approach I've never seen, installing a configuration profile, a remote management tool, and a VPN. Yes, this pretty much gives Familoop total control of the phone—good thing the designers aren't using this power for evil. This setup gives Familoop the ability to filter all Web traffic on any browser or app. Most competitors force use of a proprietary browser. Qustodio Parental Control (for iPhone) can also filter all traffic by use of a VPN, but installing the VPN is awkward, while Familoop's installs effortlessly. Familoop tracks time spent on an iOS device but doesn't break it down by activity. Social media and other communications aren't tracked on iOS. There's no time control for apps on iOS, but parents can choose to allow or block a wide variety of activities and features. When you choose to block, say, the App Store, or iTunes, that application's icon vanishes. It's more powerful than most iOS parental control tools. Support for Android Familoop on an Android device is more similar to the desktop version than on iOS. One nice difference—its content filter handles any browser, where the Windows version supports only Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. My review of Familoop Safeguard (for Android) gives the full details. As noted, Familoop tracks calls and SMS messages on Android devices, and breaks out the time spent on the phone in the Insights report. It also captures photos taken using the device. Installing it requires you to make it a Device Administrator, but that's true of just about every Android parental control system. As with the iOS edition, Familoop on Android provides geofencing. If your child enters an area that you've defined as dangerous, you'll get an email notification right away. An Ambitious Effort Newcomer Familoop Safeguard offers an impressive array of parental control and monitoring features, especially on mobile devices. Its online console handles all management of child profiles, and also offers impressively detailed reporting on the child's activities. There's no time scheduling of device or Internet use, though parents can remotely impose a timeout. And for mobile devices it offers location tracking and geofencing. That's all very well, but I ran into

A number of parental control companies I used to follow have closed up shop, but I'm also seeing new ones popping up. Familoop Safeguard is one of this new crop of parental control products, and it's definitely aimed at the modern multi-device family, with support for Windows, Mac OS, Android, and (to a greater extent than many competitors) iOS. Familoop boasts an impressive feature set on the PC, but it may be a little bit too new; not everything worked as designed in my testing. For $39.99 per year, you can install Familoop on three devices. There's no limit to the number of child profiles you can create, and a Mac OS or Windows device still counts as just one device even though you can associate a child account with each user account. For $69.99 per year you get 10 device licenses. ContentWatch Net Nanny 7 swings the other way, with unlimited devices and a fixed number of child profiles. A $79.99 per year subscription gets you 10 child profiles. Qustodio Parental Control 2015(30 Days Free Qustodio Complete Plan (All Devices Full Protection) at Qustodio) costs $44.95 per year to protect five children on five devices. And Symantec Norton Family Premier, at $49.99 per year, doesn't apply any limits to the number of devices or child profiles. Similar Products Kids and Devices As with Net Nanny, Qustodio, Symantec Norton Family Premier($49.99 Per Year at Norton LifeLock), and other modern parental control systems, Familoop's configuration and reporting take place entirely online. To get started, you sign up for an account. Note that there's also a 10-day free trial available. Next, you configure a profile for your child. After you specify name, gender, and date of birth, Familoop sets the initial configuration to match the child's age. You can also choose one of nine built-in images or upload a photo of your own. With the child's basic information in place, you now start adding devices. On a Windows or Mac OS device you simply download the tiny local agent and log in to your Familoop account. On a mobile device, you get the app from the appropriate app store. In testing, I found that the devices appeared quickly in the online console. Like most of the competition, Familoop assumes that a mobile device belongs to just one child. The unusual Circle with Disney($55.00 at Amazon) gadget necessarily assigns even Windows and Mac

OS devices to one child as well, which may be problematic for some households. Like Qustodio, Familoop gives you a choice. You can identify the entire device as belonging to the child, or just choose one user account. Once you've added all the child's devices, you proceed to configure protection rules. It's important to add the devices first, because some of the rules differ on different platforms. Familoop selects a default set of rules based on your child's age: Kids under 13, Teens 13-15, or Mature 16-17. You can also choose Accountability, described as "Limited monitoring without blocking." And of course, if you change the defaults you'll have a Custom protection level. Content Filtering With a Hitch Filtering out gross and inappropriate Web content is a priority for most parental control programs, and Familoop is no exception. The protection rules page summarizes what sort of Web content protection your child experiences, but you'll want to click to open the Web content protection panel for full details. Familoop displays over 30 content categories initially. If you click Show all categories, the list expands to nearly 80. Each category is marked Unsafe (red), Iffy (yellow), or Safe (green). When your child tries to visit an Unsafe site, Familoop blocks the attempt and notifies you by email immediately. Iffy sites don't get blocked, but you receive a daily summary of visits to those sites. In testing, I couldn't find a pornographic or otherwise unacceptable site that Familoop didn't block. However, I had no trouble connecting to a secure anonymizing proxy. Doing so let me surf anywhere without control or monitoring by Familoop. Digging deeper, I found that the Proxy category was merely marked Iffy. I pointed out this loophole to my contacts at the company and they quickly changed the Proxy category to Unsafe. A simple three-word command that disables Alvosecure Parental Control and a few others didn't faze Familoop when I tried it. However, this product has one great big flaw—it is not browser-independent. It only supports Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. All your kid needs is an unsupported browser, perhaps Opera or Vivaldi, to evade content filtering. I do like the way Familoop displays Web activity in its console. Each domain visited or blocked gets a rectangular card that displays the domain, the relevant categories, and time of the most recent visit. You can click for details of all the pages
