It will also notify you via email whenever your device has been infected by malware such as viruses and worms which can be very useful if not configured properly otherwise it may cause confusion with false positives alerts that are sent out unnecessarily. I have found this program helpful since my children frequently browse using their smart phones at school while connected to our corporate office WiFi so we need to ensure they do not access any malicious websites that could lead them into trouble later down the line.

Pros
  • I really like how this can be used to block unwanted sites automatically from home WiFi when browsing from mobile devices
Cons
  • Can be a bit confusing when it comes to the rule creation process if you do not take notes along the way
