## What is FamilyShieldVPN?

Family Shield finally knows the difference between you, your kid, and your grandmother.

One subscription, multiple profiles. Each person gets their own rules: bedtime for the kid, anti-scam DNS for grandma, a clean tunnel for you. Set it once on your phone; it follows them across their devices.


WHAT'S INSIDE


REAL WIREGUARD VPN

WireGuard, six regions, unlimited bandwidth. Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States, India and Australia.


MULTIPLE PROFILES, ONE PLAN

Parent · Teen · Kid · Grandparent · Custom, each a saved rule set for filter level and bedtime. Add someone with a short invite code. No router setup, no MDM.


SCAM & PHISHING CHECKS

Paste a suspicious link or message and get a plain answer: known scam, phishing domain, or credential trap. Works with SMS, WhatsApp, email, anywhere you can copy text.


BREACH MONITORING

Check your family's email addresses against live breach data, up to five addresses per parent. You get a push alert when one shows up, not a PDF next week.


AGE-GRADED PRESETS

Filters that run at DNS, so switching browsers doesn't get around them. Bedtime mode winds the internet down on schedule.


GRANDPARENT MODE

DNS-level anti-phishing for the people scammers target hardest. Nothing to learn, just fewer fake bank texts.


PRICING

• Monthly - $9.99
• Yearly - $69.99, which works out at $5.83 a month
Both start with a 14-day free trial. Up to 6 devices across 6 profiles.


WHY HOUSEHOLDS, NOT INDIVIDUALS

Most VPNs charge per person. We charge per household: six devices for less than two seats at other VPNs. And most parental-control apps need deep system access — accessibility hooks, screen recording, MDM. We don't. Filtering happens at the network layer; nothing watches your kid's screen.


WHAT WE DON'T DO

• No browsing history off the device - our resolver never writes query logs to disk.
• No message reading - the scam checker only sees text you paste in.
• No screen recording and no key logging.
• No background location tracking. Location is shared only during an SOS you trigger, and only with your own family.
• No selling or sharing of traffic data to anyone.


WHO BUILT THIS

Family Shield is the first app from Gosenville Ltd. (Cyprus, GDPR jurisdiction). Engineered by a working SOC analyst.
