“If WOMBATS ceased to exist tomorrow, your Shield would keep working. Most products in this category cannot make that claim.”
The kids are watching something on the lounge-room TV, you're on the laptop in the kitchen, and the household media library, old films, family videos, the music collection, is on a folder on Shield. No streaming subscription decides what you're allowed to play tonight. No vendor cloud sees what your household watches. The TV just shows it.
Everything in Shield Core
Edge starts where Core leaves off, quiet network-wide protection for every device, with SafeSearch, parental controls, per-device pause, and a local dashboard that doesn't require any account anywhere. See Shield Core for the full protection list.
What Shield Edge adds
SMB file sharing across the household
A simple network share that any laptop, phone or TV on your network can reach. Documents, photos, projects, kept on the property.
Jellyfin direct play & direct stream
Stream your own media library to compatible devices without an account, without a cloud catalog, and without transcoding overhead.
DLNA for compatible TVs and players
If your TV speaks DLNA, it sees your library on the network, no apps to install, no logins to keep alive.
Local media library
Organise your media on Shield itself. The library is yours; the index is yours; the playback is yours.
Jellyfin on Shield runs in direct play / direct stream mode only, no transcoding. Very high bitrate 4K media may reduce stream counts. See the FAQ for capacity guidance.
“It does not inspect your traffic to sell you to anyone. It does not need to.”
When you outgrow Edge
Edge is the right Shield for media-heavy households that don't need encrypted backups or a travel Wi‑Fi network. If you also want Mac Time Machine backups onto encrypted local storage, or a Vault‑only Wi‑Fi access point you can carry on holiday, Shield Vault is the next step.
