HomePass Support

Set the right limits for every person and device.

Use content access in Plume HomePass to choose what a person or device can reach on your home network.

Choose a Filter

Pick the level that fits the person or device.

HomePass uses known domains and content categories to decide what the network allows. Choose the level that matches the amount of filtering you need.

No limits

All types of content can be accessed.

Best when no category-level restrictions are needed.

How assignments affect the restriction

A person’s setting follows assigned devices

Every device assigned to that person receives the same restriction.

An assigned device can affect the person

A content setting placed on an assigned device also applies to that person.

Unassigned devices stay independent

An unassigned device stays independent. Its content access setting applies only to that device.

Blocked Content

The browser may show different errors.

When HomePass blocks a website, the browser does not always display a parental-control message. Any of these messages can mean the restriction is working.
