Welcome

What SENTRA Network Threat Shield does for your home or business, in plain language.

Your internet line is protected by SENTRA Network Threat Shield — Internet · NTS for short. It is a small security box (or a virtual one at your provider) that sits between the internet and your network. Everything that comes in or goes out passes through it first.

What it does for you#

Protection In plain words
Stops attacks at the door Known bad addresses, floods of junk traffic and break-in attempts are stopped before they reach your computers, phones and cameras.
Learns what's normal Its AI learns your usual traffic. When something suddenly floods your line, it blocks the senders within seconds.
Catches break-in attempts An intrusion-prevention engine recognises thousands of known attacks and malware.
Keeps unwanted sites away It can block adult, gambling, scam and malware sites — and apps you choose — for everyone, or only for some devices (for example the children's tablets).
Safe search Google, YouTube, Bing and DuckDuckGo show only safe results, with nothing to set up on each device.
Fair sharing It can keep video calls smooth while backups and downloads wait their turn.
Reports Daily, weekly or monthly reports of what was stopped.

What it doesn't do#

  • It never reads your messages or web pages. It sees only the names of the sites your devices visit — like the address on an envelope, not the letter inside.
  • It blocks whole sites and apps, not a single video inside a site you allow. If you need to be sure only certain sites open (for young children), your provider can switch on approved sites only.

If something goes wrong#

The box is built to protect without getting in the way. In the most common setup — where it sits invisibly in the line — traffic keeps flowing even if its software stops. Every change made to it is undone automatically if it causes a problem. Because all your traffic passes through it, a box that loses power or breaks does interrupt the internet until it is fixed; some business units have a bypass that avoids even that — ask your provider.
