Bark

This guide applies to firmware v4.9 and later. For earlier versions, please click here.

The Bark service can help protect your child's digital world and provide comprehensive online protection. It typically requires a paid subscription. However, as part of our partnership with Bark, GL.iNet offers the Bark Home plan for free on select router models, providing advanced monitoring and alerts at no extra cost.

Note:

  1. The Bark service is available only in the United States, Australia, and South Africa. Click here for details.

  2. Bark and GL.iNet Parental Control cannot be enabled simultaneously, as this may trigger conflicts.
