Filter and block websites for your child

A web filter should be strict about the few things that matter and relaxed about everything else. Qustodio sorts websites into categories, and each category can be allowed, flagged with a warning or blocked outright.

In practice that means Educational sites open freely while Games trigger a warning, and a single address, say roblox.com, can be blocked on its own. The filter works on the address, so it applies in whichever browser your child opens.

Qustodio also shows the activity behind the rules. A blocked category appears in the timeline with the number of attempts, which tells you whether the rule is being tested or simply ignored. Search alerts flag worrying searches before a child reaches a page.

Web filtering and activity alerts are listed for Android, iPhone and iPad, Windows, Mac, Chromebook and Kindle, so one account covers the whole house. Custom rules for web, apps and games are part of the Complete plan.

Explain the categories to your child so a blocked page does not feel random. A free Qustodio account protects one device, and signing up also opens a trial of the Premium features for trying the filter on a real device.
