Happinetz Box User Experience: Reliability With Daily Internet Monitoring?
Happinetz Box comes as a modern solution for the consumers to monitor the type of content there kids are consuming on a daily basis when being online. This comes as a savior for parents who have a tight schedule to keep a constant check on their kids online activities.
While it’s certainly difficult to keep kids away from internet, the option to monitor all the websites they are visiting is a solution we all have been demanding. Once you are done with the installation and pairing, you would simply need to add the device that your kids are using to the list on the Happinetz ap for monitoring.
As mentioned above, you get to chose Kids, Teens, and Parents modes. Just for reference, the basic functionality of the Happinetz box is to create a separate Wi-Fi network to which the devices that your kids are using can be connected.
Now, this is different than the primary Wi-Fi network where no such restriction on content is created. Rather, you’ll be able to use your primary Wi-Fi internet network for web browsing. What we liked about the Happinetz Box is that it not just solely blocks the age-restricted websites, but also filters content from popular streaming portals such as YouTube.
In fact, it also provides safety from inappropriate content from different social media portals and apps. Since the Happinetz Box uses a distinct platform to restrict inappropriate content it still works to block age-restrictive content irrespective of the use account on these social media and OTT platforms.
Besides, the option to make customization depending on age, time duration, and also type of content makes it practical and reliable. It is capable of tracking over 110 million websites to block all the invasive activities such as phishing and scam attacks.
