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. Privacy Policy: https://familyshield-vpn.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://familyshield-vpn.com/terms

About

Store Fix

Features
Read full description

Store Fix keeps App Store links on the storefront region you choose, so app pages open in the country or region you expect. Why this matters: in some storefront regions, such as China, an App Store URL that is not fixed to the local region code can fail to open the app's product page. Store Fix rewrites apps.apple.com links to your selected storefront, so regional App Store pages keep working. With the Safari extension enabled, Store Fix works when you click App Store links on web pages and when you paste or type an App Store URL directly into Safari. Use it to: - Keep App Store pages on one preferred region - Jump between storefronts from the Safari toolbar - Search a full storefront list by country, localized name, or region code - Keep common regions such as China, Hong Kong, Japan, the United States, and Canada close at hand - Optionally force App Store links to stay in Safari instead of opening the App Store app Store Fix is designed for people who compare apps across regions, use multiple Apple storefronts, or simply want App Store links to behave predictably.
