How it works

Set up in a few minutes.

  1. Install and say hello

    Open Shield Squad and meet Fenix, your child's starter character.

  2. Quick setup

    Allow the VPN permission (it is only used to filter sites on the device), turn on notifications, and enter the parent email for alerts. You can skip any step and do it later.

  3. Set your parent PIN

    Choose a 6-digit PIN. It protects stopping the shield, category changes, bedtime, and plan and email changes.

  4. Choose what to block

    Adult, gambling and malware sites are always blocked. With Gold you can also switch on social media, gaming and entertainment, and sideloading-site categories.

  5. Keep the shield on

    Turn on Always-on VPN and Block connections without VPN in Android settings, so protection can't be switched off by accident. The app walks you through it.

  6. Play a daily chapter

    Your child plays Cyber Quest: one new chapter each day, with 9 questions and a quick mini game. Progress is saved on the device.

  7. Rewards with Gold

    On Silver, stars and progress are earned and saved, but nothing unlocks. With Gold, completing a daily chapter can unlock rewards, including new squad characters. Your child chooses when to switch them on.
