Firegate prevents access to adult and dangerous websites across your entire home network, automatically and quietly in the background.
The risk of accidental exposure #
Unsafe websites are not limited to deliberate searches. Many users encounter them accidentally through:
- Mistyped website addresses
- Misleading ads and pop-ups
- Compromised or poorly moderated websites
- Scam links sent by email or messaging apps
For children, elderly users, and non-technical family members, a single wrong click can lead to content that is inappropriate, harmful, or designed to deceive.
Device-based controls often fail because they:
- Only protect one browser or app
- Can be bypassed or disabled
- Do not cover smart TVs, consoles, or IoT devices
How Firegate blocks unsafe destinations #
Firegate works at the network level, positioned between your modem and router. All internet traffic passes through it before reaching any device.
Firegate automatically blocks:
- Adult and explicit websites
- Known scam and fraud destinations
- Phishing and impersonation sites
- Domains associated with malware distribution
Blocking happens before a page loads. When a device attempts to access a dangerous destination, the connection is stopped instantly and silently.
No alerts. No pop-ups. No disruption.
Network-wide protection, not per-device rules #
Because Firegate operates centrally:
- Protection applies to every device
- No apps or browser extensions are required
- No per-user setup is needed
This includes:
- Phones and tablets
- Laptops and desktop computers
- Smart TVs and streaming devices
- Gaming consoles
- Smart home and IoT devices
Even devices that cannot run parental-control software are protected automatically.
Quiet by design #
Firegate does not interrupt normal internet use. Safe websites load normally, and users are not forced to interact with warning screens or approval prompts.
This makes it ideal for:
- Family households
- Shared home networks
- Elderly users
- Guests and visitors
Protection happens in the background, without drawing attention to itself.
Privacy-first filtering #
All filtering decisions are made locally on the Firegate device.
- No browsing history is sent to the cloud
- No user behaviour is tracked
- No data is shared with third parties
- No accounts or subscriptions are required
Your network remains private while still being protected.
A safer internet for everyone at home #
Firegate helps create a safer online environment by reducing exposure to harmful and deceptive content — without constant supervision or technical management.
Once installed, unsafe websites are kept out automatically, giving families peace of mind and a cleaner, safer browsing experience across the entire network.
