Reasons Every Home Should Have a Bitdefender BOX

The Bitdefender BOX is by far one of the coolest devices in the history of digital security.  I can think of tons of reasons everyone should want the BOX in their home.  So I decided to share with your a few of these reasons every home should have a Bitdefender box.

1.) Protect what matters – In today’s world everything is connected, and we need something to keep all our expensive devices from malware, data theft, online fraud, online spying, and other online threats.  The Bitdefender BOX can help keep our entire network safe from online dangers.

2.) Bitdefender BOX is easy to set up – You don’t have to be a tech genius to set up a Bitdefender BOX on your network.  You’ll just download the Bitdefender BOX app, connect the BOX to your router, and follow a few easy steps to get the BOX set up, so it’s protecting your network.

3.) Just one app, that’s all you need – There isn’t any fancy controller to keep track of, just your smartphone will control your BOX.  The app will notify you of events on your network and allow you to control all your devices from your smartphone.  Yes, you’ll be able to do things like set data limits, improve system speed, install Windows updates, locate your lost devices, and of course, keep your network safe.

4.) It just feels good to know your networks is safe, and you are still safe when you’re away – The Box works hard to keep you safe even when you’re not at home.  Private Line is the internet browser you’ll use which is safe and anonymous.  You’ll be 100% protected from hackers, privacy thieves, and viruses while you’re out and about, even when you’re connected to a hotspot in a coffee shop, airport, and other places.

5.) You don’t have to be a tech master to set up the BOX – To set up the BOX you’ll want to start out by making sure all requirements are met and that you have everything needed to set it up correctly up Bitdefender BOX.  Once you know you have everything needed head over to Google Play or the Apple App Store and download the Bitdefender BOX app so you can manage everything from your smartphone or tablet.  You’ll need to make sure your device is running Android 4.0 or higher or  iOS7.0 or higher before installing the Bitdefender BOX app.

Using the cable that comes with your Bitdefender BOX connect to any free LAN port on your router.  You may need to change your router configuration or access to your router admin info, and that’s about it.

6.) OMG, it’s so itsy bitsy and cute (shh, don’t say that too loud it might get upset) –  I still am amazed at how small and lightweight the BOX is, especially considering the BIG job it does in my house.  It doesn’t take up hardly any space; the design is simple, and it’s a product that just about anyone can set up and use to its full potential, not only the techy people of the world. Don’t let the size of the BOX fool you, it’s the badest of the bad in digital security.

7.) It can be a WHAT  – The box is capable of being a portable wireless router too.  I know, the itty bitty BOX can even be taken with you on trips and used to hook up to the hotels internet so have your very own secure wireless network at your fingertips.  Finally, there is a way to protect yourself all the time wherever I go.

8.) The BOX and updates – As the days of technology grow so does the need for software and devices that can keep up with the times, which is another reason to choose Bitdefender’s BOX.  The BOX can be updated with all Bitdefender’s new features such as Parental Controls.

9.) The BOX has a guest mode feature too – Seriously, does it get much cooler?  This itty bitty box that is super lightweight is loaded with so many great features.  Bitdefender, users can connect a new device using guest mode, so they don’t have to worry about anyone being on their secure network and snooping around.  Sorry, but it’s better to be safe than sorry and with this feature you can let people use your connection and still keep YOUR network safe!  It’s a win-win.

10.) Anti-phishing and remote management features too, oh my – Bitdefender also has an anti-phishing feature that works to block you from visiting scammy websites, You can also tap on your phone’s screen to install OS updates as well as control mobile data.  My personal favorite feature is the remote management, which allows you to tap your phone on the screen and install mom’s OS updates and even set up your younger sister’s data roaming.

The BOX is defiantly a step into the future regarding online protection.  It’s like antivirus for your home network!  The BOX works hard to defend your home network against malware, data theft, fraud, phishing, spying and other online threats.

Having the BOX connected to my network feels good, especially knowing there are times when my kids are playing with my devices on the network.
