How web content filtering works

• Websites are grouped into categories (malware, phishing, adult content, social media, gambling, etc.)

• Rules that you set to allow or block certain categories

• Filtering happens automatically in the background, often at the network level, so no extra software is needed on each device

• Works on computers, phones, and tablets connected to the network
