Copy from Wangle Website. Partner is a school teacher and recommended the program. I've set it up for a friend and it seems like a great product that could potential help others.

Extract from their website:

Wangle Technologies, in collaboration with leading children’s medical researchers Telethon Kids Institute, came up with a new approach to the challenge. Wangle had already developed a best in class secure and accelerated mobile VPN network which had the ability to analyse network data in real time. By marrying Telethon Kids Institute’s years of research into online childhood behaviour with the enormous flow of internet and GPS data passing through our network, Wangle Family Insites was designed to analyse children’s online activity in real time to look for emerging threats.

This approach could enable real time alerts to parents with details of identified issues, and offered the opportunity for parents to consider and react to emerging threats earlier in the process. But parents had a further issue to contend with - what were they supposed to do once a threat had been identified?

The team at Wangle worked closely with Telethon Kids Institute and other experts in the field to collate and curate detailed information from researchers, government advisory bodies and educators. We then explored the ecosystem for relevant resources, tools and services, so that parents had much more detail on what threats might mean, what their approaches might involve, and who to turn to for help when they needed it.

    More meaningless buzzwords than Malcom Turnbull yucking it up with the commercial news drones.

    Boy I'd like to see their privacy policy picked apart. Sounds more like NSA spying on your kids.

    Just use OpenDNS Family Shield, it's free and can work at the router on all devices.

    This wangle device posted here monitor the traffic all they want by diverting it with their VPN, but there's no chance they'll find out what your kids getting up to on iMessage, Facetime, or other end to end encrypted apps.

    What's the deal, this is an everyday price?

    • Blocking is failing more and more because modern apps call out to other apps more and more which means network traffic is going here there and everywhere. Calling ios maps from an another app needs about 10 firewall holes to work effectively I'm told. Managing blocking rules is becoming a joke.

      The whole point is i want the monitoring component.

      It notifies parents and allows yoi to control specific websites and apps as well as timing.

      Tracking graphs and statistics show time of use as well.

      • Still not seeing the deal. If its an everyday price theres no bargain posted.
        Looks like this could be done at the router or device level, which can restrict websites to famil friendly with Open DNS which has pretty much scoured the entire web for appropriateness and is used by schools. Can also block known VPNs and proxies. Your router can log all that info, or one of the many free internet filter apps.

        If you want to control specific websites, is that limited to a few, or just a particular themed website? There may be many with similar content, so you can see where your blacklist is essentially endless unless you block it by theme type within DNS settings or parental control app so it never loads in the first place.

        Sounds like you may be better off with a white list.

        • And when your child leaves the home?

          Use a pocket router?

          You do realise how unrealistic Open DNS is.

          This is an innovative new product, that works better than the big players, such as Norton, and can provide parents ease of mind.

          It's a deal because it's free for the first month to trial.

          I know my children are worth it. Telethon Kids institute also recommends the program.

          Not everyone is a programmer and understands routers and the logging information. This is a cheap alternative and can bring peace of mind.

          Have you seen the recent article about videos on YouTube and the sexual vilification of children content?

          Anything to help combat this problem in my books is great.

          No one solution is the answer.

        • @Suspect420:

          I take you mean when they go out, not when your child leaves home, the day we all dream about.
          Why not use a free parental control net filter installed on their device which would work away from the home router, and log their use?
          You do realise that they only need use another device elswhere or at your home and all your content control is gone. Looks like you can realisically attain good parental control for free, maybe save for this claimed live monitoring (which likely cant do anything for encryped communications).

        • @chyawala: typing in a phone in between all day meetings.

          Yes, you get my drift.

          Not sure how the encrypted component works.

          Obviously your very knowledgeable but most parents are not. Good day

    Good scheme to raise kids to accept spying and/or the potential data leaks.

    There's a situation here:

    1) Either they can spy really well even at encrypted requests and that means passwords, etc. Will be on a database that can be leaked. Privacy promises mean shit. Look at Equifax etc.

    2) or they are not able spy that well over encrypted traffic, then they're not able see search requests, messages with 'bad men'.

    Oh, actually, they're going to be Chinese citizens. Find a way to hide activity by getting a second phone, always look neutral online, etc. Hail our glorious elders
