It securely routes mobile traffic—whether on cellular data or public Wi‑Fi—through a cloud-based virtual router, mirroring the same security, content filtering, and device management settings applied at home.

The service works alongside the Gryphon Home app. To get started, you must first install the Gryphon Home app on your network administrator’s device, then install HomeBound+™ on each mobile device you wish to monitor and manage.
