the Cujo Smart firewall protects your home network

I am the family I.T. support and now I can’t just answer the phone with, “Did you try turning it off and on again?” I have to take care of whatever comes along, settings changes, instructions and so much more. I also have to worry when viruses come up. Not only am I taking care of all of the devices in my own home, I am taking care of those at my parents’ house as well. I probably should have set up my new CUJO Smart Firewall at their house and got one for our house. But, when my CUJO Smart Firewall arrived I immediately set it up on our home network, which was a snap, and then proceeded to explore the features of the app.

First off, the customer service is freaky cool. I setup my CUJO Smart Firewall and the app and attempted to set it up with a Google WiFi that I had installed recently. I learned through the customer service that I could only use the CUJO Smart Firewall in a certain mode with the Google WiFi. However, I still had my cable modem and router so I connected my Cujo to that to prevent anything coming into our home as the first line of defense against hackers and spam sites and malware. How do I know that I am being protected? My CUJO Smart Firewall app sends me messages when certain devices in the house attempt to connect to these questionable sites. I don’t have to worry because CUJO Smart Firewall has these excellent features:

  • BUSINESS-LEVEL INTERNET SECURITY
    Detects and blocks malicious sites and hacks
  • GUARDS ALL DEVICES
    We’re talking phones, tablets, computers, baby monitors, thermostats, security cameras and more
  • PARENTAL CONTROLS
    You can control what your kids access online. Set time limits, schedules, and sites that are permitted. Apply access policy to any or all devices.
  • CONNECT TO ROUTER, CONTROL WITH APP
    The CUJO takes just a few minutes to start. Plug the CUJO device into your router and follow the step-by-step guide on your CUJO app.
  • BLAZING FAST (built with 1GB Ethernet)
    With Dual core 1GHz processor, 4GB flash memory and 1GB DDR SRAM memory inside. There are also Two Gigabit Ethernet ports on the device.

I like how the CUJO guards all devices. In the net few weeks I am going to be installing some connected items into the home. Digital Thermostat, Security cameras, connected doorbell and the like. With CUJO I know they are being protected from outside hacks. that is important to me.

#CheeriosChallenge and New General Mills Cereals

Photo-A-Day #4431

My Latest video is about the #CheeriosChallenge and New General Mills Cereals. I am being compensated for promotion of the Cheerios #StackingSweepstakes and Cheerios Challenge by Cheerios. I am working with Life of Dad on that campaign. The other part of this video is of two new General Mills Cereals that were sent to me under no obligation to talk about them but I love talking about cool things that are sent my way.

As far as the Cheerios Challenge I am part of a campaign with Cheerios and Life of Dad. The campaign is to promote the #CheeriosChallenge, which is a cheerios stacking competition that people can enter and 3 families may win a trip to the Mall of America. The #StackingSweepstakes runs from 5/30 to 6/4. The official rules are at https://www.lifeofdad.com/cheerios-challenge-stackingsweepstakes-official-rules/. I cannot enter the contest. 🙁 I’d love to take the family to the very fun Mall of America. It has an aquarium and roller coaster in it!

I also occasionally receive cereal from General Mills to try out. I have no obligation to do anything with the cereal on Social Media but I like to talk about things that come to the house so I included these two new cereals Blueberry Chex and Apple Cinnamon Toast Crunch in this post. I haven’t tried either yet, just mentioning that I received them.
You can check out everything in the video.
