About SafeGuard
The internet is a wonderful thing that can make our lives easier and more enjoyable, but it also has its risks, especially when children start exploring it on their own. To help you and your family enjoy the internet as safely as possible, we have introduced Post Office SafeGuard® - a free online tool that helps block harmful or inappropriate online content. SafeGuard is easy to use and quick to set up. All your devices will be protected as long as you are connected to the Post Office broadband.
SafeGuard has three main features:
Kids Guard
You can’t always be there to monitor what your children or grandchildren find online. An innocent internet search can provide countless results for inappropriate sites. SafeGuard helps you protect them from unsuitable content like pornography, violence, drugs and alcohol by blocking these sites. You can customize the filter to suit your household needs.
Homework Guard
This feature allows you to block access to social network and gaming sites during set hours of the day. We think this can come especially handy during homework, study time or exams periods.
Virus Guard
Some sites might look inoffensive to the naked eye, but with a simple click you could end up downloading a computer virus that could seriously harm your devices. SafeGuard helps identify malware-infected and phishing websites. These potentially dangerous sites will be blocked as long as you are connected to the internet with the Post Office broadband router.
