AV-Comparatives provides certification for parental control software. Parental control solutions are tested against 1,000 URLs with undesirable adult content, and 100 child-safe URLs. In order to be certified, a product must block at least 98% of pornographic websites, have zero false alarms on child-friendly websites, and have no severe unresolved bugs (or design flaws) discovered during the review.
The certification reports can be found here: https://www.av-comparatives.org/parental-control/
Six popular VPN products for Android approved for privacy and performance
ISO-certified independent security testing lab AV-Comparatives has released details of its 2021 certification tests for Android VPN products, run in collaboration with PC Magazin. VPN (virtual private network) products encrypt the user’s Internet traffic, and hide their real IP address, thus ensuring their security and privacy. They can also be used to access geo-blocked web content.
