Through Linewize Community, Connect works with your school’s filtering to ensure school internet policies apply during school time, while allowing parents to maintain or disable device protection outside of school hours.
This version of Connect for laptops is specifically designed for schools, and that means:
Provides DNS filtering only. DNS filtering supports content filtering only and is therefore most suitable for school time filtering.
Designed for school managed (i.e. locked down) devices. It can be used for BYOD, however anti-avoidance measures are not provided.
To improve the level of online safety and protection given for children, the Family Zone parental app is being replaced with the world-leading Qustodio parental app.
