Developer Description
Extends protection of GRYPHON™ to mobile devices even when it’s outside the home
HomeBound™ is your mobile device app that is easy to install on a mobile device and routes the traffic of the mobile device, when outside the home, back to your Gryphon secure mesh WiFi router so that it can be managed and protected as if it were still on your Gryphon network. The app works in conjunction with your Gryphon secure mesh WiFi router and the Gryphon Connect app. You will need to first install Gryphon before installing HomeBound™ on the mobile devices that need to be managed.

It's been working great for us. It's very cool to have the protection of your home Gryphon router wherever you may be on both free WiFi and over the air data.The bad reviews are older and about kids being able to shut it down.I believe this is where you have to talk to your kids and explain what it does.It's not a tracker but an anti malware protection. Once they understand that they really will have no reason to turn it off.It's not a control app but a protection app. Explain it don't force it!
Works well as advertised. My phone has an accessibility button on it that interfered and made the app kick off from time to time not sure why I managed to get rid of the button tho so all good now.
VPN does not work good when I connect it to phone data. It keeps disconnecting. I use another vpn service any way.
I've had multiple issues with this app nor working or not filtering properly. Definitely not worth the $70 a year that they charge for this service.
does not turn itself on and easy to turn off vpn
