Parental control

What is it​

Parental control is a set of settings that gives you the flexibility to customize access to certain websites with "sensitive" content. You can use this feature to restrict your children's access to adult sites, customize search queries, block the use of popular services, and more.

How to set it up​

You can flexibly configure all features on your servers, including the parental control feature. In the corresponding article, you can familiarize yourself with what a "server" is in AdGuard DNS and learn how to create different servers with different sets of settings.

Then, go to the settings of the selected server and enable the required configurations.

Schedule off time​

Enables parental controls on selected days with a specified time interval. For example, you may have allowed your child to watch YouTube videos only until 23:00 on weekdays. But on weekends, this access is not restricted. Customize the schedule to your liking and block access to selected sites during the hours you want.
