Is OpenDNS Family Shield a good parental control app?

To be honest, I’m not a fan. It’s decent for web filtering , but it has very limited features compared to top parental control apps. For example, its web filter is preconfigured, so you can’t change the content that’s blocked. And it doesn’t have app filtering, time limits, scheduling, or location tracking, all of which are standard features for parental controls.

Is OpenDNS Family Shield free?

Yes, OpenDNS Family Shield is 100% free . But you can upgrade to OpenDNS VIP Home to gain access to a couple of extra features, including the ability to allow only whitelisted sites and to track internet usage statistics, such as the websites your child visits. I normally don’t recommend free parental control plans because they come with many limitations. However, if you’re only in the market for a free plan, check out the best ones here .

Does OpenDNS Family Shield track visited sites?

No, it doesn’t. This feature is only included in its paid plan , OpenDNS VIP Home , which keeps your child’s internet usage statistics for up to a year.

How do I block YouTube on OpenDNS Family Shield?

You can’t. OpenDNS Family Shield ’s web filters are preconfigured , meaning you can’t change the content categories it blocks or add specific websites to its block list. Instead, I’d check out Qustodio , which allows you to block the YouTube site and app or set up time limits for the app.

Can I use OpenDNS Family Shield without an account?

Yes, you’re not required to create an account to use OpenDNS Family Shield . Its other free plan, OpenDNS Home , requires you to register your network.

What does OpenDNS Family Shield block?

OpenDNS Family Shield blocks 4 content categories : Pornography , Tasteless, Proxy/Anonymizer , and Sexuality . Tasteless includes pro-suicide and pro-anorexia websites, and sites on mutilation, torture, and horror. Proxy/Anonymizer includes sites that help users browse the web anonymously, including VPN sites. And Sexuality includes websites that contain images or information on content like bondage, sadism, masochism, and body piercing.
