Prevent a device from being blocked by in-home filtering

If you don't want Bark's in-home filtering to block websites and apps on a certain device (like a router or your own phone), make sure you ignore it in the app.

What to ignore

To prevent network connectivity issues, we always suggest ignoring...

  • Routers
  • Mesh units
  • Network extenders
  • Printers
  • Smart thermostats
  • Security systems

How to ignore a device
