Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common setup and configuration questions.
You can easily block specific websites by URL or keyword using the HomeGuard Activity Monitor's intuitive filtering dashboard. Navigate to the 'Website Blocking' tab, enter the URL you wish to restrict, and choose whether to block it completely or apply a specific time schedule.
Navigate to the 'Program Blocking' or scheduling settings within HomeGuard. From there, you can select specific applications (.exe files) or groups of applications (like "Games") and configure a schedule matrix allowing access only during specific hours of the day or setting a maximum daily time limit.
Because HomeGuard is designed to be tamper-proof, password recovery requires a specific protocol to ensure security isn't compromised. Please refer to our detailed Password Recovery guide for instructions on securely resetting your administrative access.
In some cases, because HomeGuard utilizes stealth technology and system-level monitoring (such as network filtering), aggressive antivirus or anti-malware software may flag it as a "Potentially Unwanted Program" (PUP). You will simply need to add the HomeGuard installation folder to your antivirus software's exception or exclusion list.
