The tunnel

Your child’s phone

Encrypted WireGuard tunnel

Kidova servers in Germany

Kids protection · ad blocking · scam protection

Blocked: ads, trackers, adult sites, scams

The internet

  1. 1

    The device connects

    The Kidova app opens a WireGuard tunnel to our servers. Everything the device sends goes through it, encrypted.

  2. 2

    We check each address

    Every website or app server name is checked against your child’s settings. Allowed ones load normally; blocked ones simply don’t connect.

  3. 3

    You stay in control

    Settings you change in the parent app apply within seconds. Your child sees a friendly message and can ask you.

What we can and can’t block

Where ads and tracking appear, and whether Kidova can block them
Where it appearsCan Kidova block it?
Ads and trackers in browsers, most free games and many apps Yes
Meta ads inside other apps and websites Yes
Meta Pixel tracking on websites Yes
Facebook SDK tracking inside other apps Mostly; a few apps stop working
Sponsored posts inside the Facebook and Instagram apps No, not without breaking the app
Ads inside YouTube, Instagram or TikTok No. We recommend YouTube Premium Family
The whole Facebook, Instagram or TikTok service, for children Yes, per child

We can’t remove ads inside YouTube, Instagram or TikTok. Here’s why and what we do instead.

Why it’s hard to get around

  • All DNS lookups are forced to our filter, whatever the device is set to.
  • Known encrypted DNS services and VPN services are blocked at our servers.
  • If a child’s device stops connecting, you’re told.
  • Android device admin and Apple’s Screen Time controls protect the app from removal.
