When it comes to protecting our kids we do what we can. We teach them stranger danger, to look both ways, and not to eat anything strange off the ground! But what about when our precious angels venture into the online realm. To paraphrase Game of Thrones, the internet is dark and full of terrors. Okay it isn't all bad, but there are definitely places, people, and topics we do not want our children stumbling upon. 
No you can't try to corrupt my babies internet.
Luckily, there are devices out there, and smarty pants husbands like mine, that can keep our internet safe. That is why the CUJO Smart Firewall is a must have for every connected home.

The CUJO Smart Firewall bring business-level security to your home network.Once it is connected to the WiFi router, CUJO can then secure all devices connecting to the router. It detects and blocks malicious sites, viruses, and hacks. Think antivirus for the whole network.
Once a device has been located by CUJO it immediately starts protecting it from any threat. And it won't slow down your network thanks to its blazing fast 1GB ethernet. These were just from websites I've visited. Looks like some sites are running some shady ads and are trying to glean information about me. Not today!
You can even get details about the threat.
The reason I am calling CUJO a must for the home, are the parental controls.
Parental controls features:
– parental controls for all devices
– internet filter
– time limits
– social media monitoring
– pause internet
– alerts and reporting
– remote administration
– user profiles and settings
Within the parental controls, you can choose what types of websites should be blocked for the kids' devices. 
What are your favorite features?
So I asked my husband this question, because like I said, mine is hands down the parental controls. He also likes that he see threats as they happen in real time, block the internet from any device trying to use it. and that he can see every device that is using our network.
The Verdict:
CUJO Smart Firewall is something each home should have, even if you do not have any children on the network. It gives me a sense of security knowing there is another line of defense against would-be viruses and hackers. Just one word of advice, make sure you don't accidentally deny access to your Fios Set-Top Box because then your OnDemand won't work and your wife will be upset with you. 😉
Ok I definitely need to invest in one of these! This is so cool! Love the parental controls!
Awesome device, will be a while till we have these in India
This sounds like a really interesting device to help you keep on top of all those threats the internet seems to fire at us daily.
This device sounds really interesting. Viruses and hackers and just so annoying so a protection against them is essential.
Oh cool, I might have to pick this up for my daughter. I always worry that she’ll encounter scary people online.
Wow, this seems like a must-have. That would freak me out to see those threats but glad there was something to protect the family from them.
I am loving the parental controls! I need one of these!
I was just thinking about this the other day when I renewed the virus protection on my laptop. My kids are getting older and very soon (probably Christmas knowing my family) my oldest will have an internet ready tablet of her very own.
This sounds so cool. I would love to get a CUJO for my house. I will have to pick one up this weekend.
I haven’t heard of this. It looks and sounds like something I definitely need! What an informative post.
This is a serious must have for families these days. Hackers are just getting more and more savvy! And protection for your kids is SUPER important!
I am glad to learn that there are means out there to keep out kids safe from the horrors of the internet. I have some years still till my kid needs them.
The CUJO Smart Firewall sounds like a fantastic device. I always worry about my kids using the internet safely, so anything that helps is brilliant for me 🙂

I just recently heard about CUJO and I was really impressed by how many uses it has when It comes to privacy and Internet safety. It’s a must have.
In this day and age, something like this is so valuable. I might invest!
I just heard about this recently. I want one! Definitely makes me feel more secure!
I love that this doesn’t slow down the internet. I have a different system, and I think it slows things down. Great parental controls.
This sounds like a cool device. I haven’t heard of CUJO Smart but I’m sharing this with my hubby. We might check on this one. Proteting the kids are so important.
I agree that a firewall is so important, especially when you have kids around, you definitely want to protect them from the dark web. It is great that it does not slow things down either! x
What a fabulous device! I’ll be sharing this with my brother who has a 4-year-old child. I already know he’ll want a CUJO Smart Wall.
This sounds awesome. I would love to get one for my younger siblings. Thanks for sharing.
This seems to be a great product. Thank you for introducing it to me. I would love to get it at my home
I have been researching parental controls. Definitely need to check into this.
I love that as parents we can control what our children see and do online through gadgets like this. It’s so handy!
