What it does on Android

📱

Android phone protection

Install the ChildCyberGuard app on your child's Android phone (from our website, not Google Play). It filters websites in every browser and app through a local VPN, follows your pauses, bedtimes and homework mode, and needs your email and password to stop.

🌐

Works in every browser and app

Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave and apps — no extensions to install and nothing to remove. Blocked sites show a clear "blocked" page, even on https.

🔞

Porn and adult content blocked

An adult-filtering DNS plus our own growing blocklist, with SafeSearch forced on in Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo and YouTube set to restricted mode.

🛡️

Scam, phishing and malware shield

Fake login pages, malware sites and IP-grabber links used by cyber criminals to trick or track children are blocked before they load. On by default for every new device.

⏸

Pause the internet in one tap

Dinner time, a break or a reset: pause the internet from your phone for 30 minutes, an hour, two hours or until you resume. Your child sees a friendly "internet is off" page.

🌙

Bedtime and weekly schedules

Set the internet to switch off every school night from 21:00 to 06:00, or switch on homework mode every afternoon. Schedules repeat automatically and keep working even when the PC is offline.

📍

Find your child's Android phone

Press Locate on your dashboard and the phone replies with its position on a map, usually within 10 to 30 seconds. Location is only requested when you press the button, and location history is deleted after 30 days.

For younger children: allow a short list of sites and refuse everything else. A learn mode shows which names an app needs so you can allow them.

Honest about the limits

No parental control app is unbeatable. Apps with their own DNS settings, Android's Private DNS and a determined child can all get round a filter. ChildCyberGuard warns about Private DNS, blocks well-known browser DNS tricks, needs your password to stop protection and shows you when a phone goes quiet. We recommend using it together with open conversation. Read can kids bypass or delete Android parental controls?

Android questions

Is the ChildCyberGuard Android app on Google Play?

No. You download the signed app from childcyberguard.com and allow Android to install it from your browser once. Only ever download it from our own website, and keep it updated.

Does it work in Chrome and every other browser?

It filters website lookups for the whole phone through a local VPN, so a blocked site is refused in every browser and in apps that use the phone's normal DNS. Apps with their own DNS settings and Android's Private DNS setting can bypass a DNS filter, and the app warns about Private DNS.

Can my child switch it off or delete it?

Stopping protection in the app needs your parent email and password, and you can switch on the device administrator step so Android makes uninstalling harder. No Android app is unbeatable: a determined child can sometimes remove it, and then the phone goes quiet on your dashboard.

Can I find my child's phone?

Yes. Press Locate on your dashboard and the phone replies with its position on a map, usually within 10 to 30 seconds, if it is on, has signal and location is allowed all the time. Location is only requested when you press the button and history is deleted after 30 days.

How much does it cost?

Free for 7 days with no card needed. Then R200 per device per year or R25 per device per month, with a family discount from three devices.
