Description

Secures mobile devices & extends parental controls when using mobile data and other WiFi networks with HomeBound.

HomeBound™ is your mobile device app that is easy to install on a mobile device and routes the traffic of the mobile device, when outside the home, back to your Gryphon secure mesh WiFi router so that it can be managed and protected as if it were still on your Gryphon network. The app works in conjunction with your Gryphon secure mesh WiFi router and the Gryphon Connect app. You will need to first install Gryphon before installing HomeBound™ on the mobile devices that need to be managed.

Version 01.0002.16

Premise is great, execution not so much

The idea of being able filter content to protect my children while they are away from home is great and was one of the main selling points for our family purchasing a Gryphon router and paying for the premium services. But as I’ve come to realize the HomeBound application is not usable for our family at this time. It does too good of a job filtering content as we cannot stream music reliably while connected to the VPN. It makes normal use of our phones a nightmare. I have not found any easy reliable way to turn off the VPN when it wants to prevent any sort of internet activity on our devices. The dealbreaker for me and why I will not use the app anymore for my kids is it prevents us from seeing our child’s location via “Find My Phone”. Although we can prevent certain traffic from being blocked through the Gryphon app it would be greatly received if there was some machine learning that would take the communities white list entries and compile them to a known database that would assist future users from going through the same headache of researching all the blocked sites and whitelisting them. There is much to be improved upon but I hope this app gets there someday as the idea is great.

Seems to work well

Between several vacations and sleepovers I’ve been able to confirm the app properly “tethers” our kids’ iPads to our gryphon at home and enforces our web browsing policies wherever they are. I recommend the Gryphon system. I don’t think there’s any way any system could be perfect given technology constraints, but this is the best system I’ve found for our needs.
