How to Set Up Whole-Home Internet Filtering (No App Needed)
Quick answer
Setting up whole-home internet filtering with Kahf Internet takes three steps: check coverage in your area, book a free installation, and let the technician configure filtering directly at your router. Once it's set up, every device that connects to your home Wi-Fi is protected automatically, with nothing to install or configure on any phone, tablet, or laptop.
Why This Is Different From App-Based Setup
Most parental control tools ask you to install an app on every device you want protected, then repeat the setup for each one individually. Whole-home internet filtering skips this entirely. Since the filtering is applied at the connection itself rather than inside an app, one setup at the router covers every device in the house automatically, including devices that join later, like a guest's phone or a new tablet.
App-based setup
- Install on phone 1
- Install on phone 2
- Install on tablet
- Smart TV — not possible
Whole-home setup
One setup at the router
Every device on the Wi-Fi covered, including ones that join later and ones that can't run apps at all.
Step-by-Step Setup
Step 1
Check coverage in your area
Kahf Internet currently covers major cities including Dhaka and Chattogram, with coverage expanding to new areas. Before anything else, confirm your area is covered by entering your location on the coverage check page.
Step 2
Book a free installation
Once coverage is confirmed, book an installation slot. A technician visits your home to set up the connection — there's no need to purchase or configure any special equipment yourself.
Step 3
Technician configures filtering at the router
During installation, the technician connects your home network and enables filtering directly at the network level. This is the step that replaces installing an app: instead of setting up software on each device, filtering is switched on once, for the whole connection.
Step 4
Devices connect automatically
Once setup is complete, every device that joins your home Wi-Fi — phones, laptops, smart TVs, gaming consoles — is protected the moment it connects. There's no login, app download, or configuration required on the device itself.
Step 5
Manage settings through your account
For adjusting filtering levels or checking your connection status, you can log in to your Kahf Internet account online. This is where any account-level changes are made, separate from the individual devices using the connection.
What You Don't Need to Do
- Install an app on your child's phone
- Configure each device separately
- Buy special router hardware — the technician works with your existing setup
- Remember to turn filtering back on if a device restarts or resets
This is the core advantage over app-based tools: once the network-level setup is complete, there's no ongoing maintenance per device.
What Happens When a New Device Joins the Network
Any new device, whether it's a child's new phone, a smart TV, or a visiting relative's tablet, is automatically covered the moment it connects to the home Wi-Fi. There's nothing to install or approve on the device itself, since the protection lives at the network level rather than on the device.
Set up once, not per device: a new phone that joins the house this evening is protected the moment it connects, without anyone touching a setting.

The Bottom Line
Whole-home internet filtering is set up once, at the network — not repeatedly across every device in the house. After a single installation visit, every device connected to your home Wi-Fi is protected automatically, with no apps, logins, or ongoing setup required on the device itself.
