They block domains blindly — no understanding of your child's age, cognitive stage, or what content is actually appropriate for them specifically.
CleanBrowsing, Circle, Bark, Qustodio, and Norton Family charge $5–$55/month for DNS filtering. That should be free.
When a site is blocked, parents get nothing. No insight into why, no developmental context, no guidance. Just a block.
How It Works
The Blocker runs on your home network as a DNS gateway, evaluating every request against four scientific frameworks in real time.
Pure cloud software. No hardware to buy, no device to configure. Works with any home router on any internet connection.
Enter each child's name and date of birth. AgeGuard Intelligence calibrates automatically to their developmental stage.
DNS requests are checked against 4.9M blocked domains and run through AgeGuard AI for instant, intelligent decisions.
Morning reports, evening summaries, real-time alerts, and Charly — your AI parenting advisor — explain everything.
No competitor can explain why a site was blocked. AgeGuard can — using four peer-reviewed frameworks that no algorithm can replicate.
Content is evaluated against your child's current cognitive stage — concrete operational, formal operational, and beyond. A 7-year-old and a 14-year-old get completely different filters, even for the same domain.
Social media, screen time, communication platforms, and e-commerce sites are evaluated against the AAP's latest recommendations — the gold standard in pediatric digital health.
Ad networks, trackers, and persuasive commercial content are blocked based on Common Sense Media ratings — protecting children from manipulative advertising and commercial exploitation.
Safety threats, adult content, substance references, and violent material are filtered using CDC developmental milestone data — the most authoritative public health framework available.

Device Disconnect Detection
