Parental controls on Aussie Broadband
It’s easy with Safe Surfer to setup parental controls on Aussie Broadband. Along with protecting your privacy, we also use our own behind-the-scenes technology to block porn and other harmful online content. This guide will efficiently walk you through how to setup protection.
Step 1: Configure DNS
Enter the address 192.168.20.1 into the top search bar of a web browser (such as Google Chrome or Firefox).
Type admin into the username box. Check the bottom of your Netcomm router for a sticker containing the login password—this is different to the Wi-Fi password.
Click into the DHCP menu:
For “Primary DNS server”, type 104.197.28.121 into the text box.
For “Secondary DNS server”, type 104.155.237.225 into the text box.
Step 2: Click the Advanced Setup menu -> LAN
Verify the protection installation by visiting ExampleAdultSite.com inside a web browser. This is a safe website for testing to see if pornographic websites are being blocked. If it's not blocked, review the previous steps.
If you have any Apple devices (that is, iPhones, iPads, or Macs), and you're not directly protecting them via the Safe Surfer dashboard, you will also need to enable the Limit Adult Websites setting on those devices to disable the Private Browsing Mode feature for Safari—this feature ignores the Safe Surfer filtering received from your home router:
For each iPhone and iPad device, navigate to the Settings app > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions (and enable this feature if it’s not already turned on) > Store, Web, Siri & Game Center Content (on older devices, this menu is called Content Restrictions) > Web Content > set to Limit Adult Websites. Once you’re done, navigate back to the Screen Time main menu, which will save the changes.
For each Mac device, navigate to the System Settings app > Screen Time > Content & Privacy (and enable this feature if it’s not already turned on) > Store, Web, Siri & Game Center Content (on older devices, this menu is called Content Restrictions) > under Web Content, set Access to Web Content to Limit Adult Websites, then click the Done button at the lower-right corner. Once you’re done, navigate back to the Screen Time main menu, which will save the changes. Open the Safari app > click the Safari text on the left-hand side of the menu bar (at the top of the screen) > click the Quit option. Repeat this process for every user account on the Mac.

If you are using the Linked IP option?
if you find that you're having to link the IP often, then you can pay for a static IP with Aussie Broadband for an extra $5 per month.
