Router-only rule assumed to cover foreign Wi-Fi or a hotspot
Detection
The plan has no guidance for school, travel, friends’ homes or other carers’ networks.
Fix (technical)
eSafety directs parents to protect devices accessed in others’ care; Saferinternet.at identifies device, provider and application layers. Check the actual device-level controls rather than assuming a home-router policy applies elsewhere. [esafety-parental-controls; saferinternet-at-technical-controls]
Fix (relational)
Agree what the child should do when a site, chat or purchase request appears away from home.
Residual risk
No inspected source quantified the effect of a specific hotspot on a specific control.
