Network Filter vs. Device Filter
Should protection live on your Wi-Fi or on each device? The trade-off is coverage versus portability.
Network filtering (gateway-based)
A gateway filters every connection as it enters your home.
- Protects every device automatically — TVs and consoles included
- Nothing to install or maintain per device
- Can't be removed or reset from the device
- Applies while devices are on your home network
Device filtering (per-device apps)
Software or OS controls configured on each device.
- Follows the device off home Wi-Fi
- Granular per-app controls
- Must be set up on each device individually
- Easily bypassed, uninstalled, or reset
