Introduction
This guide will show you how to turn off the Verizon Smart Family VPN service. The VPN is a great way to keep your family safe online, but it can be a pain to manage if you don’t know how to use it. If you’re having trouble with the VPN, or you just want to disable it for a while, follow these steps.
What is Verizon Smart Family?
Verizon Smart Family is a suite of parental controls that let you manage how your family uses mobile devices and the internet. You can set limits on screen time, filter content, block apps and websites, and more. You can also see your family’s location on a map, and get notifications if they leave an approved area.
To use Verizon Smart Family, you’ll need to sign up for an account and install the app on your family’s mobile devices. After that, you can manage all of your family’s settings from the app or the website.
One of the features of Verizon Smart Family is the ability to set up a VPN (virtual private network) on your family’s devices. This will encrypt all of their internet traffic and make it more difficult for third parties to track their online activity.
Unfortunately, there is no way to turn off the VPN without also turning off all of the other features of Verizon Smart Family. If you want to disable the VPN, you’ll need to cancel your account and uninstall the app from your family’s devices.
