General
-

-
2. What should I install before using NETVIGATOR SHiELD?
No installation by customers is needed. The protection will be enabled automatically via your NETVIGATOR broadband line at your service installation address after subscription to the service. All you need to do is connect your devices to our NETVIGATOR broadband network at your service installation address.
Protection coverage
-
1. What kind of devices is protected by NETVIGATOR SHiELD?
All devices that could be connected to the Internet onto our NETVIGATOR broadband network at your service installation address, such as computers, smartphones, smart TVs and smart fridges.
-
2. Do I need a NETVIGATOR SHiELD subscription for each of my devices?
No. Subscription is based on your NETVIGATOR broadband line and not specific devices. Therefore, one subscription to NETVIGATOR SHiELD will enable protection to your NETVIGATOR broadband network at your service installation address and all the devices connected to that network.
-
3. Will NETVIGATOR SHiELD protect my device if it is connected via public Wi-Fi or a mobile network?
No, NETVIGATOR SHiELD's protection is based on your NETVIGATOR broadband line at your service installation address. Therefore, the protection is valid only when your device is connected to your NETVIGATOR broadband network at your service installation address.
-
4. Will I be protected by NETVIGATOR SHiELD if my device is connected to my broadband network via a router?
Yes, if your router is connected to your NETVIGATOR broadband network at your service installation address, but not when using a High Speed Wireless Broadband Router.
-
5. Why will NETVIGATOR SHiELD not protect me if I am using a High Speed Wireless Broadband Router?
Because the network provided by a High Speed Wireless Broadband Router is facilitated by a SIM card via a mobile network, and not via our NETVIGATOR broadband network. NETVIGATOR SHiELD is applicable only to your NETVIGATOR broadband network at your service installation address, so a device connected via a High Speed Wireless Broadband Router is not protected.
Block page & monthly reports
-
1. If NETVIGATOR SHiELD blocks a site I think is safe, can I still access the site?
Yes, you can still access the site by clicking the "CONTINUE" button, but you are doing so at your own risks and would have to bear the possible consequences.
-
2. Under what situations will I see block pages?
Block pages will be shown when you attempt to access harmful sites so deterred by NETVIGATOR SHiELD using the browsers in your device. If you are using apps, your next action will be stopped directly without showing block pages.
-
3. Can I disable the protection if I find the blocking annoying?
No, not unless you terminate your NETVIGATOR SHiELD service.
DNS settings
-
1. Can I change the DNS server address setting of my devices after subscribing to NETVIGATOR SHiELD?
No. A DNS server address will be auto-assigned to devices connected to your NETVIGATOR broadband network at your service installation address with subscription to NETVIGATOR SHiELD. The protection will no longer be valid once the auto-assigned DNS server address is changed.
-
2. Will my IP camera connected to the network with NETVIGATOR SHiELD be affected?
No. Only the DNS server address will be changed after subscribing to NETVIGATOR SHiELD. Your IP camera will continue to function properly since the IP address will not be affected.
