Astralink Connect vs SecureDNS Agent

Astralink Connect puts you in charge of your home network. Astralink Connect works with your Connect security appliance to give you complete visibility and control over every device on your network — no networking expertise required. Approve who gets online, block ads and malicious sites automatically, and stay protected whether you're home or away. APPROVE EVERY DEVICE When a new device joins your Wi-Fi, you get an instant notification. Nothing reaches the internet until you say so. Approve a device as Trusted for full access, or as a Guest for internet-only — right from your phone. BLOCK ADS & THREATS NETWORK-WIDE Ad blocking and threat protection run across every device on your network — phones, tablets, smart TVs, consoles — with nothing to install on each one. See exactly how many ads, trackers, and malicious sites have been blocked. SEE WHAT'S ON YOUR NETWORK A live view of every connected device. Rename devices, check what they're doing, and block anything suspicious in a tap. ACCESS YOUR HOME FROM ANYWHERE A built-in secure VPN lets you safely reach your home network when you're away — check your cameras, access files, and route your traffic through your trusted home connection. GUEST WI-FI MADE SIMPLE Give visitors internet access that keeps them isolated from your personal devices and smart home. PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN Your appliance handles security locally and only ever connects out — never accepting inbound connections from the cloud. Your network stays yours. Astralink Connect requires an Astralink Connect appliance.

SecureDNS Agent protects your device by encrypting all DNS queries through your organization's Secutec-managed secure DNS infrastructure.
