Q: Why a VPN?

A: For a few reasons, the main one being it's the only technology available to us today where we can enforce a Family Safe Internet on mobile devices across all sources of Internet: WiFi, Cellular Data, and across all browsers (Chrome, Safari, FireFox, etc).

Once the Kibosh VPN has been installed from your Portal, a family-safe Internet is enforced at all times on this device. Period.

The only way the user can access the Internet is A. through the family safe VPN, or B. they turn off the VPN.

And it is mostly for B that you can monitor from your Portal:

How it works:

Watch the KiboshVPN Setup Video above.

  1.  Assuming you've already setup your Kibosh Router...go to Dash > VPNs in your Kibosh Portal
  2. You should start with 1 VPN Slot
    • Click Add VPN+ to add more VPN Slots ($1.99 mo)
    • a VPN Slot is a perpetual licenses that you can rotate devices in and out of as needed.
  3. Now - log into your Portal from the mobile device you want to install the VPN on
    • Open an un-assigned VPN Slot and Assign this mobile device
      • If you do not see this device - then it has not yet connected to the Kibosh Router's WiFi, so go do that then come back
    • Choose your devices model O/S
    • Follow the prompts and viola - the KiboshVPN is installed, and this devices internet is secure
      • Note that once the KiboshVPN is installed - the internet on this device will not work unless the VPN is connected. So, the only way the user can access a raw unfiltered internet is to first Turn Off the KiboshVPN.
      • You can monitor the VPN ON / OFF status from your Kibosh Portal
  4. Once you have the KiboshVPN in place, then you can monitor this device from your Kibosh Portal and layer on Parental Controls

NOTE: REFRESH your Kibosh Portal often to get any new UI changes, which should be coming almost daily now. The Portal UI with Mobile is very new and still in beta - it will get easier to use over the next few weeks (promise :-). -SST 250816
