Protect my devices with Safe Surfer
Safe Surfer protects individuals, families, and businesses from harmful online content. We make it easy for you to block online content, such as:
Pornography
Illegal downloads
Protection evasion
And much more
If you visit our home website (https://safesurfer.io) on a device that is not protected with Safe Surfer, the protection status bubble at the top of the page will be coloured yellow.
Protecting devices with Safe Surfer is easy. First, let's create an account on the Safe Surfer dashboard. Our easy-to-use dashboard helps you protect and monitor devices.
Getting an affordable Pro Surfer subscription gives you the ability to block content from our range of more than 60 content categories. Safe Surfer can block games, online gambling, and even social media apps. You will also get our device monitoring tools. Find out more about subscription features on our Pricing page.
Once you have signed up to the dashboard, click the Devices menu on the left-hand sidebar. In step 2 below, we have guides available that will show you where to go from here.
Our easy to follow installation walkthrough guides will show you how to install Safe Surfer for each kind of device. They will also help you verify that the protection installation is working correctly.
