One router. Your network, your rules.
Tired of changing VPN settings just to stream?
Privacy Hero includes a router-based VPN service and Streaming Relocation controls. The included VPN automatically selects its server and location for connected devices; it does not provide manual server or country selection. You can use Streaming Relocation settings for supported services and configure a compatible third-party VPN for other browsing.
Give each group of devices a job
Create device groups and choose how they connect. Keep the setup as simple or as flexible as your home needs:
- Streaming devices: manage their streaming and VPN settings together.
- Work devices: assign a different compatible VPN connection or rule set.
- Family devices: apply parental controls, Safe Search and schedules.
- Guest devices: keep their settings separate from your everyday devices.
A practical setup for real households
Works with your current internet setup: connect Privacy Hero 2 to your existing ISP modem or router, or use it as your main router where your setup allows. Connect devices over Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Protect devices that cannot run VPN apps: smart TVs, streaming sticks, game consoles and other connected devices can use router-level settings when connected through Privacy Hero 2.
Change settings away from home: the cloud dashboard lets you adjust device rules, VPN and streaming settings from an internet-connected device.
Protection you manage from one dashboard
Ad and tracker blocking: reduce many intrusive ads and trackers across connected devices, including devices that do not support browser extensions.
Malware and phishing protection: help block known harmful domains at the network level.
Encrypted DNS: add a privacy layer to DNS requests for devices using the router\'s supported protection settings.
Cloud management: adjust VPN connections, device groups and family controls from an internet-connected device.
Family controls: set Safe Search and YouTube Safe Search, block adult content, schedule bedtime internet pauses or use Time Out for a temporary break.
