Coming soon features are not available yet. Activity stays optional. Free’s 150,000 monthly DNS checks are shared across both US DNS addresses.
A DNS check is an address check: an app or website asks where to connect. One page can make many checks, and apps also make them in the background. Free gives your whole family 150,000 checks a month — about 5,000 a day over 30 days, shared across your home and devices. This is a monthly allowance, not a daily cap. How long it lasts depends on your devices and apps; it is not a number of pages or hours online.
At the monthly limit, filtering pauses and normal internet access continues. Your account shows usage and a warning at 80%. The allowance resets at the start of each month; your account shows the exact day and time where you live. You can upgrade for unlimited filtering.

GOOD QUESTIONS
Clear answers, before you start.
Home Wi-Fi rules cover devices using that connection. Supported devices with their own SwearGuard DNS setup can use their rules on other networks too. The setup guide explains the options for each device.
No filter catches everything. SwearGuard blocks known domains on its lists. Ads delivered from the same domain as the content, including many video ads, may still appear.
No. DNS rules control internet access to websites and online services. They do not lock the phone, stop offline games or measure time spent inside an app.
DNS filtering checks domain names, such as a website’s address. It does not read messages, passwords or page contents. Your account can show DNS activity, depending on your settings.
Yes. Change your choices in your SwearGuard account. Existing connections and saved DNS answers can take a little time to refresh, so changes may not be instant.
Some routers let you change their DNS settings; others are restricted by the provider. You may be able to set up supported devices individually instead. Check the guide before changing anything.
Your family. Your rules. A little more peace of mind.
