Do I need both the Bark Home and a router with Bark built-in?
You do not need both, just one of them. If you are unsure of which one is best for you, learn more below:
- The Bark Home is a little box that you connect to your existing Wi-Fi router to block apps and sites on in-home devices. Coupled with a Bark Premium subscription, it can also be used to monitor texts, photos, and videos on iPhones and iPads.
- Some routers come with our Bark web filtering service integrated directly into them, meaning you can use them in place of your existing Wi-Fi router for our app and site blocking features.
