Frequently Asked Questions
Does it slow down my internet?
In most cases it improves browsing performance because advertising infrastructure and unwanted domains are blocked before connections are made.
Can I stream media to my TV?
Shield Edge and Shield Vault support Jellyfin and DLNA media streaming. Apple TV users can use apps like Infuse to access the media library.
Does it monitor what devices are doing?
No. WOMBATS Shield does not store browsing history or track device behaviour. Only high-level network statistics are maintained.
Do I need to replace my router?
No. The device sits behind your existing modem or router and works with most Australian ISP equipment.
Can protection be paused?
Yes. Filtering policies can be paused temporarily from the system interface.
