Protecting Your Home With Cujo

Do you ever worry about your house? I'm not talking getting broken into by a burglar, but instead, your device being broken into by a hacker. With more and more of our homes being run by electronics (I have a smart fridge, so I get it!), we have to protect ourselves. Plus, we have kids, so I have to worry about them giving the house a virus.

This is where CUJO comes to the rescue. CUJO is a smart firewall for the connected home, designed to bring business-level security to the home network. This one device will secure all devices connecting to the WiFi router. CUJO detects and blocks malicious sites, viruses, and hacks. Think of it like antivirus for your entire network. Plus, CUJO lets you control what your kids access online and keep them safe!

Now, I'm tech savvy, but not all that great at hooking stuff up. (Don't ask about the issues we had hooking up the router.) I was able to hook up the CUJO all by myself and correctly! Here's the super cool part, if something funky happens (like it did here), they call and email you! For us, there was a date issue that we ended up resolving by rebooting everything. I loved that they called me though!

I want to highlight some of the parental controls features

  • parental controls for all devices
  • internet filter
  • time limits
  • social media monitoring
  • pause internet
  • alerts and reporting
  • remote administration
  • user profiles and settings

How cool is that? Here's the crazy thing – it's already blocking stuff for us that I have no idea was even happening!

The CUJO is protecting my house; it should be protecting yours too!

    Stephanie something that we are going to get. I like the idea of having the protection that we need when we are online and when our kids are online.

    This is definitely a product that would be ideal for our family. We are always online and I worry about internet security especially with the recent rashes of security breaches.

    My son plays video games and I always worry about the what if someone can get i some back door while he is on lie playing these games. My husband built a pretty sophisticated fire wall, but times are always changing.

    I love how diverse the Cujo is from keeping you safe, to turning off the net if someones spending too much time on it. It really is a great addition to any home.

    I really like the visual alert that something is being blocked! What a great product!

  9. Miriam T.

    I had no idea how at risk we were until we plugged in the CUJO. Gil immediately started asking what ALL the different devices were and we cut-off connection for anything we didn’t recognize. Love all the internet security!

    1. Lisa

      I know! It’s totally crazy!!

  10. Liz Mays

    This does sound like an effective way to keep the family safe and secure. The filters are going to be really nice for keeping the kids focused on schoolwork and kid-friendly websites.

  11. Rachel

    This is the third time I have read about this nifty device. I really am intrigued. I need to check one out soon.

  12. I love the sound of some of those parental control features. As someone who’s had to go into their router to try and block things I can see where this would be really useful.

  13. Erlene

    Everyone has been talking about this little device. With all that we do online, it’s probably a good thing to have.

  14. Mimi Green

    I keep hearing about this device. The universe is telling me to get it and keep our devices safe. It’s also telling me to monitor my kids even more.

    We just got one because our laptop got hacked. I will never have that happen if I can help it again.

  17. Kita Bryant

    I am loving the sounds of this. I sure like protecting our stuff! It’s scary to not be covered.

  18. Rose Cottrill

    This would be great to have! I love that you can hook it up easily. I am not fond of complicated technical stuff so it’s a plus for me.
