Use Cases
Practical network protection and control for real homes and offices.
WOMBATS Shield applies protection to devices on the managed network path. It is local-first, with protection and control running on the device and no vendor cloud control plane.
Families and shared homes
Help reduce exposure to unsafe and adult content, apply SafeSearch for supported providers, pause internet access, and relax or exclude filtering for specific devices when needed.
Small offices
Add DNS filtering, harmful-domain reduction, app/service controls, and device-level management for devices that use the managed network path.
Privacy-conscious households
Keep day-to-day network control local. Filtering and updates may use external sources, but policy enforcement runs on the device.
Local backup and media users
Shield Edge adds SMB file sharing, Jellyfin direct play/direct stream, and DLNA. Shield Vault adds encrypted internal storage, Time Machine support, recycle bin, and Wi-Fi AP mode.
Australian home/office networks
WOMBATS Shield is designed to fit behind existing router and network setups, with guided setup for DNS, DHCP, and network settings. VPNs, encrypted DNS, or devices outside the managed network may bypass local policy.
