Reading the Dashboard
Applies to Shield Core, Edge & Vault
The Dashboard is your home screen. It shows your Shield's status, quick access to its services, and a summary of what protection is doing — all at a glance, and all processed locally.

A quick read on whether your Shield is active, which product you have, whether Vault Wi-Fi is on, and how long the device has been running (uptime).
Device & Access
Shows the status of important device services and lets you open each one quickly from one place.
Shield Components
The protection layers that make up your Shield, so you can see at a glance that each part is running.
DNS Queries
Network-wide DNS activity for the last 24 hours — every request your network made, processed locally with no tracking, client profiling, or cloud dependency.
The Query Volume Trend gives a quick view of overall activity versus blocked requests across the day.
Tips & troubleshooting
- The Dashboard is read-only — it's a status view. You make changes on the Shield, Control, and Admin pages.
- These numbers never leave your Shield; there's no cloud account behind them.
