# Get Family Protect

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/559870/Get-Family-Protect

> FamilyProtect is parental control software for families with children using Windows PCs at home. It is built for one situation in particular: a parent who wants harmful websites blocked on the family computer, does not want to read their child's messages to achieve it, and does not want to spend an evening configuring software.&#10;&#10;Who it is for&#10;&#10;Parents of children roughly 5 to 16 with a Windows laptop or desktop in the house, whether that is a shared family PC or the child's own machine. It suits parents who are not technical, because there is no router configuration, no network changes, and nothing to install on the parent's own device. It also suits parents of older children who have already worked out that a second browser defeats a browser-based filter, since filtering here runs below the browser rather than inside it.&#10;&#10;What makes it different from the other options you are comparing&#10;&#10;Most products in this category are cross-platform suites that combine filtering with screen time scheduling, activity reports, message monitoring and location tracking, and price per device. FamilyProtect is deliberately the opposite shape.&#10;&#10;Filtering runs at the DNS layer, so a single setting covers every browser, app and game launcher on the PC rather than the one browser you configured. Enforcement runs as the system rather than as the child's Windows account, so a standard account has no switch to reach, and protection repairs itself within minutes if it is interfered with. Protection is attached to the PC rather than the home network, so it keeps working on school Wi-Fi and mobile hotspots.&#10;&#10;There is no message reading, no keystroke logging, no location tracking and no screen time control. That is a deliberate limit rather than a roadmap gap. It makes FamilyProtect a tool a parent can tell a teenager about, which is usually what determines whether protection survives contact with the teenager.&#10;&#10;Who it is not for&#10;&#10;Families who need phone or tablet coverage, screen time scheduling, or monitoring of messages and social media. Mac and Linux households, since FamilyProtect currently supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 only, with macOS and Linux coming. If those are your requirements, one of the cross-platform suites will serve you better, and it is worth saying so before you spend a trial finding out.&#10;&#10;Support&#10;&#10;Email support from a real person, usually replying within two business days, plus a self-serve help centre covering setup, adding and removing devices, billing and account questions. Setup takes a few minutes per PC: create an account, open a setup link on the child's computer, and protection is live.&#10;&#10;Pricing&#10;&#10;One flat plan at $5.99 per month covering every Windows PC in the household, with no per-device or per-child fee and no feature tiers. 14-day free trial, card taken at signup so protection continues automatically, cancel any time before then and pay nothing. Rolling monthly with no contract.
