One of the best ways to protect your home network is with a smart router like the Gryphon. If that’s not in the budget, free or low-cost DNS filters such as OpenDNS or NextDNS offer strong protection by blocking unsafe websites before they load. DNS filtering acts as your home’s invisible digital gatekeeper, guarding every connected device. It’s not foolproof, but it’s an important layer in a family’s digital safety plan.
