Hello,
Oh dear, with all the hackers around and the school year beginning, I was very happy to receive the CUJO Smart Firewall. I have been dreading this time as my teenager begins High School. I have seen them doing so many searches and surfing from one site to the other. It can get a bit overwhelming as their knowledge expands and goes to another level of guidance. Security is the most important thing at home. So, how do I keep my teen safe on the Internet? Well, the solution to my dilemma is CUJO Smart Firewall. The best part is that this device secures all your devices connected to the WiFi router, my whole network is secure!!! Plus, it is beyond easy to set up, even for those of us that aren’t technologically oriented. I gladly share How I Keep My Teen Safe On The Internet with you.
My hubby commented that he like the idea that this techy gadget fits in most places as a contemporary ornament as it is ultra white and not bulky but a perfect fit. My teenager was also very happy to see it fit perfectly in the allotted space. Since they are my designers, I was happy with its compact size and look.
What I found surprising was the fact that it was easy for anyone who is not technologically oriented to install. It was as easy as 1, 2, 3! First, you download the app, plug into the router and follow the in step app instruction. Download the app on your iPhone or smartphone. Then plug then Plug CUJO into the Router. Look at the lights talk to you. If it is not smiling it needs to get updated.
If the CUJO eyes are smiling, you are all set! If blinking, it means it is being updated. Wait till it is completed.
Once it is ready, you would need to reboot your computer. After registration, follow the instructions and connect to the router.
After completion, the CUJO eyes should be smiling again. Make sure all your devices connected to the same network. Wait a couple of days and your network devices will be updated. Here are the main features:
CUJO Main Features
- Easy Set-Up Plug-in to Router
- Business-Level Internet Security
- Guards All Devices
- Parental Controls
- Connect to Router
- Control with iOS/Android Smartphone App
- Blazing Fast with 1GB Ethernet
Parental Guidance is extremely important with teenagers. I have been cautious but allows space for growth and respect. I was taught that every action has a consequence. Therefore, with the guidance we can give responsibility and lay the right foundation we allow them to grow in the right direction which I would believe can be call monitoring. CUJO helps in avoiding inappropriate websites and apps as well as time management on social media and prevent malware. I am sure my hubby might want to monitor my time as well, lol.
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. Be safe and get your CUJO at BestBuy.com in-store and online today. The Business level Security for the home package contains:
- firewall device with free subscription
- a 3-foot Ethernet cable
- AC power adapter and of course instructions
What is interesting to see is the result it shares with you in regards to the threats it is protecting you and your family. You can see the report on the app or wait for CUJO to send you an alert notification via email when it blocks an internet threat. Amazing indeed!
I really am delighted that I am able to give freedom and space yet able to monitor and see that my teenager is responsible and maturing whether I am home or away. The Parental control features are encouraging for busy parents to keep their children safe online day or night.

- Parental controls for all devices

I like that CUJO is small and nice looking. I also love the idea that it protects all the lines in one house, up to five. My favorite is that CUJO has parental control handled and you can even stop or pause the internet when you choose.
Oh yes Gladys, I love the idea of the parental control indeed and yes having that control is great. Yes, protecting all the lines in one place is just incredible. Security to the max.
Cujo sounds like such a great investment. You can never put a price on security and safety for our family. I have to check this out, thanks for sharing!
Very true Sapphire, no price for security and safety for our family. Certainly a great investment for our family as well.
Very smart, a must have for any family with young people, provides freedom to kids while keeping them safe, essential to our growing technological world.
Yes Stephanie, it is a must with the kids today. We need to be on top of it. It is essential but we need to let then know cause and effect. Every action has an effect especially with technology. All the best.
We have a few things in place to keep our teen safe. I need to be a little more stringent on his phone but so far we have a plan in place.
Oh Shalama, so many things to keep them safe. I try to teach the foundation and pray it comes into effect as it is need. Sometimes we just have to preay they listen more than is seen, lol. Sometimes we need to be. a little hard at least once :). Love does wonders although not easy
My husband said we are getting one this week. I hope he remembers. If not, I will keep bugging him to pick one up. This is one gadget we need in this house.
Hi Our Family World, I am sure he will have it in mind for the safety of your family. Really is great : Parental Guidance! Glad to have your response.
We have this in the house. Purchased it last week. I am amazed at how useful it is. Definitely keeps me and my family safe from unscrupulous individuals lurking in the internet.
Yes Annemarie, it sure is important. The things we do for our children and family. Too much of the unknown is around and the best we can do is offer what we are aware of. Let’s keep sharing what we know for our children.
What a great device, I would love it to keep myself safe. It is a whole new work with technology and kids growing up!
Yes, yes, but sometimes it does feel good that others can have the help as well. Sharing is good especially when it pertains to our children. We need to keep updated based on the love we feel as parents:).
I love the Cujo. We have one and I can’t imagine how we lived life without it prior to getting it hooked up. This is a great investment.
Ah, can understand exactly what you mean as we thought the same when we got it connected. Safety of the family. Thanks for your response.
