Your Kurio comes with a fully customizable web content filtering system, providing the most secure solution for each member of your family to surf the web safely. Provided by CronLab, over 150 million websites in 170 languages are indexed and categorized daily as appropriate or inappropriate content for your child, and more are added every day through auto-updates to keep your protection detailed and up to date. When a site is determined to be ‘naughty’ or ‘inappropriate’, it is automatically blocked.
You can customize the content filtering software by selecting one of the predefined profiles according to age, or you can specifically determine which categories to allow or block by selecting Custom Filter. You can also create safe lists and block lists that scan simultaneously with the content filtering software to further tailor your child’s Internet experience!
Please note that our filtering software is amongst the strongest systems available, but, as with any system, it cannot filter 100% of websites so adult supervision is still recommended.
