Plusnet Safeguard helps to block access to inappropriate online material such as;
adult content, gambling, violence and the threat of cyber bullying through messaging
and social media.
It’s included with all our broadband packages - so you can decide what your
household can see.
Switch on and stay in control
Activate SafeGuard when you sign up, or at any time afterwards by visiting your
control panel in the Member Centre. Then, just change the settings to the level of
protection you need.
Block unsuitable websites & categories
Stop access to a particular website or for greater control, a range of categories (e.g.
adult content, gambling and image sharing). So, when everyone’s online you won’t
need to worry about who’s seeing what.
Allow access to safe websites
Creating a list of safe websites that your household can view is easy. (E.g. you could
put a general block on gambling websites, but still allow access to the National
Lottery).
Timed access
Control when to block, not just what to block. Set the hours your household can view
everything on the Internet, or when to limit access.
