I can’t see any settings in the Internet Filtering Rules
When you access the Internet Filtering Rules you should be able to see the default Online Safety Expert Profile that has been applied, the red time periods are when that category is blocked, the blue ones are allowed. If you’re unable to see any settings in Internet Filtering Rules then there may be an issue with your account or your browser.
- Log into your account and check the Internet Filtering Rules in another browser or the Family Zone app on your parent device to see if they show.
Customize Filtering Rules - Make sure that the internet rules haven’t been changed by showing overrides
Reset Internet Filtering Rules

Filtering Type Comparison
Family Zone's default settings are designed to fit most Children as they grow up. As your Child matures they are ready to access a wider range of online content. Premium Members can adjust the filtering to fit their Child. Use this comparison to choose the best changes to help your Child.
Turn on and off access to online content based on the Routine type for each Child. For example, 2 children in the same age group start Play time an hour apart. As each Child's Play time starts, the web content is allowed or blocked based on these filters and rules.
Set time of day for Play, Study, School, and Sleep time per child. For example, a Parent can allow a Child to have more access to the Internet by increasing or adding the Play hours. Edit the weekday School Day or the weekend Rest Day schedule.
Use predefined cyber safety age groups with recommended cyber safety settings. The Child's birthdate sets the Age profile. A Parent has the option to move a Child to a more restrictive (younger) profile or less restrictive (older) profile. Advanced options are available to override the automatic updates to the next age group on a Child's birthday.
