Switching/Scheduling Internet on/off

Parents have the ability to switch the Internet on/off for browser-based internet searches as well as schedule days and times for browser-based internet access. This feature, consisting of switching Internet on/off as well as scheduling Internet on/off for browser-based internet searches, needs to be considered on a family (global) as well as on an individual (profile) level. Important to note is that the individual Child settings will always take priority over the family (global) settings. Only devices that are currently connected to the VPN can have their browser Internet access scheduled and/or switched on/off via the Parental application.
