The problems most networks don’t solve
Protecting kids online is inconsistent
Devices, apps, and browsers all behave differently. Exposure to adult content and unsafe search results is hard to manage.
Threats happen before you see them
Phishing and malicious domains can look legitimate. Many attacks start at the domain level.
You don’t really control your network
Router controls are limited. Many solutions rely on cloud dashboards and external services.
What WOMBATS Shield actually does
WOMBATS Shield works at the network level to filter and control how devices connect to the internet.
Block harmful domains before connections are made
DNS-based filtering helps stop known malicious and unwanted domains early.
Reduce exposure to unsafe and adult content
SafeSearch and domain controls help enforce safer browsing environments.
Control access to apps and services
Block supported services or categories across the network.
Manage devices individually
Pause internet access or relax filtering for specific devices when needed.
Full visibility
See what your network is doing at a glance
The dashboard brings protection status, device access, DNS activity, and service health into one local interface so you can understand what is happening without sending control to a cloud dashboard.
Filtering and protection
Set protection levels that match your household
Tune DNS filtering and SafeSearch controls for adult content, malware, phishing, ads, and tracking. Enforcement happens on your network before risky connections are made.
App and service blocking
Block supported services across the network
Apply simple service-level controls for popular apps and destinations, helping reduce distractions and unwanted access without configuring every device individually.
Device control
Manage each device from one place
Identify connected devices, pause Shield filtering, or pause internet access per device when you need tighter boundaries or a quick reset.
Travel mode
Keep protection useful when your network changes
Travel mode adapts the interface for temporary network setups, making it easier to keep Shield running when you are away from the usual home configuration.
Vault and storage
Add local storage for media, backups, and files
Vault models add encrypted storage, Time Machine support, SMB sharing, and local services, all visible from the same WOMBATS Shield interface.
Protection that runs on your network
Many network protection tools depend on cloud-based analysis and remote dashboards.
WOMBATS Shield runs protection directly on your network, so control stays local and does not rely on a vendor cloud control plane.
Filtering and updates may use external sources, but enforcement happens on the device.
Setup without guesswork
WOMBATS guides you through the local setup flow and helps match the appliance to your home network.
Real-world modem support
Visual guidance helps match setup to common modem and router layouts.
