Why choose KidWatch?
Unique DNS filtering
KidWatch is the only parental control that filters at the network DNS level. More effective than a simple app filter, it protects the entire device without slowdowns.
Privacy respect
No message reading, no social media monitoring, no keylogger. KidWatch protects without spying.
Most affordable
Starting at 3.99 euros/month, KidWatch is up to 10 times cheaper than competing solutions for often superior protection.
Anti-bypass
With the built-in DNS-over-TLS VPN and VPN/proxy blocking, the protection is virtually impossible for a child to disable.
