Guardian.One tap. Every device.
Network-level content filtering — malicious sites blocked automatically, adult content blocked when you want it. No downloads, no per-device setup.
Included free with every Giant Broadband plan and every leased line — residential and business. Works across every phone, laptop, smart TV, games console and IoT device on your Wi-Fi.
Zero speed impact · No data caps · Reversible any time
One switch. Every device.
Guardian filters at Giant's network level — before traffic ever reaches your router. That's why it works on kit that can't have software installed (smart TVs, doorbells, printers, consoles) and covers guest devices the moment they join.
Runs on our network, not your router
Guardian filters at Giant's network level — before traffic ever reaches your router. So it works even on kit that can't have security software installed: smart TVs, consoles, IoT cameras, guest devices.
Protects every device on your Wi-Fi
One switch, every device covered. Phones, laptops, tablets, TVs, consoles, doorbells, thermostats, printers — including devices you're not even aware are connected.
Zero speed impact
No throttling, no data caps, no measurable latency added to your connection. Guardian sits inside the DNS resolution step your line already makes — same round-trip.
Change it in seconds
One tap in portal.giant.net.uk. Change levels, turn it off completely, turn it back on — takes effect across your network within seconds. Fully reversible any time.
added latency. No throttling. No data caps.
Guardian sits inside the DNS resolution step your line already makes — same round-trip, just checked against Giant's threat lists. Multi-gig lines still hit their full sync speed.
Pick your level.
Guardian ships with three clear options. Off is for network engineers doing their own thing. Standard is what we recommend for every household. Family adds adult-content filtering for homes with children.
Guardian Off
Standard internet with nothing filtered by Giant. For customers who already run their own DNS filtering or a home firewall.
- Nothing — you pass all traffic through untouched.
You already run PiHole, NextDNS, Cloudflare Gateway, a UniFi network with IDS, or similar.
Guardian Standard
Automatically blocks websites known to spread malware, phishing scams and credential theft. Recommended for every household.
- Known malware distribution sites
- Phishing pages spoofing banks, retailers, government
- Credential-harvesting sites
- Newly-registered domains commonly used for scams
Every household. Blocks the threats every visitor benefits from stopping — no tradeoffs, no false positives on legitimate sites.
Guardian Family
Everything Standard blocks, PLUS adult content. Designed for households with children.
- Everything in Standard (malware, phishing, credential theft)
- Adult content across the major categories
- Bypass services commonly used to route around content filters
Households with children. Note: no network filter is 100% effective — treat Guardian Family as a strong baseline, not a substitute for supervision.
No network filter is 100% effective. Determined bypass attempts (VPNs, third-party DNS-over-HTTPS, proxy sites) can route around Guardian; new dodgy sites appear faster than any block-list can catch them all. Guardian Family is a strong baseline for accidental exposure, not a substitute for talking to your kids about what they see online.
The stuff you forgot about.
The reason Guardian works at the network level is that half the devices in a modern home can't have security software installed. Guardian doesn't care — it filters before traffic ever reaches them.
