A modern home today has more internet devices than you might think at first glance. Smartphone, laptop, tablet, smart TV, games console, e-reader, speaker, camera, robot vacuum. And suddenly the old question “How many devices do we actually have?” no longer seems so harmless.
Every device brings new DNS queries with it. Put simply: every device constantly asks which internet address is behind a website, app or ad. This is exactly where ads, trackers and known phishing sites can be filtered.
The ZUHAUSE plan from XIBRO SHIELD is aimed at households where many devices and different kinds of use come together. Here are the most important numbers, explained simply.
Up to 30 devices: plenty of room for everyday life
ZUHAUSE supports up to 30 devices under fair use. That sounds like a lot at first. But in a connected household this number is reached quickly.
- 2 smartphones for the parents
- 2 laptops for work or school
- 2 tablets
- 1 to 2 smart TVs
- 1 games console
- several smart devices in the household
- guest or secondary devices
The advantage: DNS protection for 30 devices is designed centrally. You don’t have to find a separate stand-alone solution for each device. XIBRO SHIELD brings protection against ads, trackers and phishing sites together in one place.
Profiles without a fixed limit: rules that fit everyday life
Not everyone in the household uses the internet the same way. Adults need different freedoms than children. A school tablet has different requirements than a smart TV in the living room.
In ZUHAUSE you can create profiles without a fixed limit. This lets you separate usage situations cleanly. For example one profile for the parents, one for each child and one for shared tablets. Every device with its own XIBRO configuration gets its own profile; devices behind the router share the router’s rules. Schedules fit in here too, such as an internet break for the child’s profile at bedtime.
This is not a complicated tech project. It is more like tidying a well-stocked toolbox. Everything has its place, and nobody has to search for long.
Router protection for smart TV, console and co.
Some devices can’t simply be configured directly. Smart TVs, consoles or certain smart household appliances often offer no convenient way to set up your own protection services.
A compatible WireGuard router helps here. In this context, WireGuard is the secure transport route to the XIBRO SHIELD DNS filter. Important: XIBRO SHIELD is not a classic service for changing your IP address or country. Your IP address and your connection country stay the same.
Once the router is set up correctly, devices in your home network that don’t run their own XIBRO configuration can be protected too. Devices behind the router do not count towards the 30 devices. This is particularly practical for large households, because protection doesn’t fail just because individual devices can’t run apps.
Whitelists and blacklists, statistics and servers in Germany
ZUHAUSE offers whitelists and blacklists with practically no fixed limit. Your own domains can be allowed or blocked and assigned to specific profiles. That is useful if a website is blocked by mistake or if certain content should deliberately not be reachable in a profile.
Device management and statistics on DNS queries are also brought together centrally. That way you keep an overview without having to click through every single device.
XIBRO SHIELD’s infrastructure is operated in Germany. DNS logs are stored without your IP address, deleted automatically after 91 days and provide the statistics in your account – everyday protection instead of empty promises. In addition, a 30-day money-back guarantee applies to all plans in case the service doesn’t suit your household.
NoteXIBRO SHIELD is currently still in the Early Access phase – plans can currently only be activated with an invitation code. Regular sales will start later.
Conclusion: one central protection for a full home
If many devices, several people and different rules come together in your home, ZUHAUSE is a clear solution. Up to 30 devices, profiles without a fixed limit, router support, central management and flexible lists make the plan particularly suitable for large, well-equipped households.
