AiProtection – Web & App Filters for Instant Message and Communication
Before you begin, make sure you have an ASUS router. If you have another brand of a router with AiProtection or Trend Micro security, there may be a similar feature, but these steps were written using an ASUS RT-AC3200. Your router will take a few minutes to apply the settings. Now, if your child tries to use an instant messaging app, it simply won’t work. Here’s a screenshot of the Facebook Messenger app with it blocked—it just spins and spins and never loads.
Conclusion
This, of course, is just one piece of the puzzle. It won’t work if they are using mobile data. They can also use normal SMS and text messages if you haven’t blocked or disabled these features on their phone. If you want to do that, you can usually block these services for a single line via your mobile carrier. Also, while we are here, this is the same page where you can block Adult, P2P and file transfer, and Streaming and Entertainment content. Just check the appropriate box and hit the plus sign.

Why or why not? Tell me about it in the comments. I then added. snapchat, sc-analytics. feelinsonice, data.flurry into BOTH URL Filter and Keyword filter. I applied the settinga and knew I had immediate success when my child EXPLODED from her room! I have not removed the .com address yet. I’m looking for information on how to block Kik and Wickr. Anyone have advice? Comment Name * Email *
