How do I install Eyezy?

Installing Eyezy is difficult, as some features require a rooted or jailbroken device. However, Eyezy provides an installation wizard you can follow to set it up on your kid’s device. That said, I wouldn’t recommend following the installation instructions unless you’re tech-savvy. They involve downloading apps from outside the Google Play and Apple App Store — which I never recommend. When you download third-party apps that official storefronts haven’t verified, you leave yourself vulnerable to malware, such as adware or spyware. If you’re an Android user, Eyezy also makes you disable PlayProtect during installation, leaving you vulnerable to viruses. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend installing Eyezy without downloading a top antivirus like Norton . If you’re not tech savvy, I suggest choosing an alternative like Qustodio .

Yes, when you install Eyezy on your kid’s device, you’re asked to enable different permissions. One of those permissions makes Eyezy undetectable. In other words, your kids won’t know you’ve installed it and won’t be able to make any changes to it.

Can Eyezy be used anywhere?

Yes, as long as you have access to your Eyezy account and a web browser, you can monitor your kid’s mobile device from anywhere and on any device. However, Eyezy can’t be used to monitor your kid’s activity on PC or Mac (unless you count its Chrome extension that monitors browsing history and bookmarks) — which is quite restrictive when you consider alternatives like Norton Family provide monitoring on PC and Mac.

Can a VPN bypass Eyezy?

No, a VPN can’t bypass Eyezy. I downloaded ExpressVPN — one of the best VPNs in 2024 — and tried to access websites I’d blocked using Eyezy. Eyezy still successfully blocked every banned website.
