Bedtime actually means bedtime
A schedule shuts off gaming and social media on the kids' devices at 9pm on school nights, automatically. No nightly negotiation, no "five more minutes" stretching to midnight.
Use cases
What can Koru Shield actually do for you?
Not a feature list. Real situations: the bedtime battle with a ten-year-old, the scary popup on Grandma's laptop, the fake bank text at 11pm, the phishing invoice in the office inbox. Here is what changes once Koru Shield is on.
For parents
Parenting the internet without hovering over every screen. Set the rules once, and they apply themselves.
Homework without the detour
A homework-time focus window blocks social media and streaming from 4 to 6pm. School sites and research keep working. The rule lifts itself when the window ends.
Different ages, different rules
Each kid gets their own profile. The ten-year-old's tablet can be locked down tight while the teenager's phone gets looser rules, and changing one never touches the other.
Block the viral app of the week
When a new game or app is suddenly all over the school, add one custom rule and it is blocked on every kid's profile in seconds. Remove it just as fast when the craze passes.
For seniors, and the family who helps them
Scammers target older adults on purpose. Koru Shield stops the dangerous websites behind scam texts, emails, and popups, even if someone taps the link.
The "bank" text that isn't from the bank
A text claims there is a problem with the account and links to a fake login page. Even if the link gets tapped, Koru Shield blocks the phishing site before any password can be entered.
The scary "virus detected" popup
Fake tech-support popups demand a call to a "Microsoft technician" who then asks for remote access or gift cards. Those scam sites are blocked outright, so the trap never opens.
Set it up once, for the whole house
Point the home router at Koru Shield and every device on the Wi-Fi is protected, with nothing to install and nothing for anyone to remember or accidentally switch off.
You manage it from your phone
An adult child or grandchild handles the dashboard remotely: checking what was blocked, allowing a site that should not have been stopped, all without a house visit.
For schools
Class time stays class time. CIPA-friendly filtering, distraction-free school hours, and per-grade profiles, without an IT department to run it.
CIPA compliance without the enterprise price tag
Filter obscene content and protect students as part of your CIPA technology plan, at a fraction of what legacy web filters cost.
Distractions off during class hours
Social media, games, and streaming block themselves from 8am to 3pm on school devices. Everything returns to normal after the bell.
Different grades, different rules
A profile per grade or classroom, so kindergarteners and high schoolers never share one internet policy.
Filter dodging gets stopped too
Proxy and VPN circumvention sites are blocked, so students cannot route around the filter.
For small businesses
Big-company security without the IT department. Phishing and malware die at the DNS level, and the whole office is covered in minutes.
The fake invoice that almost got paid
Phishing domains are blocked before anyone can type a password into a lookalike vendor login page.
Ransomware never gets its download
Malware distribution sites are cut off at the DNS level, so the payload never reaches the device.
Social media stays off during work hours
A 9-to-5 schedule blocks feeds and streaming on work devices. Evenings and weekends stay open automatically.
Guest Wi-Fi with its own rules
Guests browse on a relaxed profile while the office network stays locked down, each on its own rules.
For everyone, every day
Even with no kids and no grandparents to worry about, the background protection earns its keep.
Phishing links die on arrival
Fake delivery notifications, password-reset emails you never requested, lookalike domains with one letter swapped: the malicious sites behind them are blocked before your browser connects.
Malware downloads never start
Drive-by downloads and ransomware distribution sites are cut off at the DNS level. The file never reaches your device, so your antivirus never has to catch it.
Ads and trackers, gone quietly
Ad networks and cross-site trackers are blocked at the source. Pages load faster, batteries last longer, and nobody builds an advertising profile on your browsing.
Protection that travels with you
Each device carries its own encrypted DNS profile, so the same filtering applies on home Wi-Fi, coffee shop Wi-Fi, and mobile data. Nothing to toggle when you leave the house.
Know the limits. Koru Shield blocks dangerous websites, it does not read page content, stop scam phone calls or text messages themselves, or catch every brand-new threat the instant it appears. It works best alongside the security features already on your devices, and a healthy dose of skepticism toward urgent messages asking for money or passwords.
Try the scenario that fits your house.
Free plan, about a minute to set up, protection on every device you own.
