A haven for the household network.

Parental controls that work at the connection layer — schedules, time limits, and category blocking enforced right on your router. No DNS sinkholes, no app to install on every device.

How it works

Policy is decided in the cloud and enforced on the gateway router — at the connection layer, where it can't be bypassed by changing a device's DNS.

1

Set the rules

Create profiles for each kid — bedtimes, daily time limits, and blocked categories — from the web app. No per-device software.

2

The router enforces

Your wifihaven router applies the policy at the connection layer. Blocked traffic is dropped at the gateway, not faked at the DNS resolver.

See what's happening

Watch which devices are online, what they're reaching, and when limits kick in — and grant a few more minutes when it's warranted.

See it in action

One dashboard for the whole house, and a friendly block screen on the device when a limit is reached. (Preview with sample data.)

What a blocked device sees — with a one-tap "ask a parent" request.

Why the connection layer? DNS-based blockers only answer a name lookup — any device that hard-codes an IP, uses DNS-over-HTTPS, or ships its own resolver slips right past them. wifihaven lets DNS resolve normally and drops the actual connection on the router, so the block holds.
