How to Read Your Activity Reports
Activity Logs summarise DNS activity for a profile, including totals, trends, and leading allowed or blocked domains. They are not a browser-history transcript of every page viewed.
Available with individual device protection. Activity Logs are included with Device Only Protection and Complete Family Protection for connected protected-device profiles.
Access Activity Logs
- →Go to your Dashboard.
- →Tap the profile you want to review.
- →Tap the Activity Logs tab.
Logs are collected hourly and retained for recent history.
Understanding the Activity Report
The Activity Logs view shows multiple sections to give you a complete picture of your profile's protection:
- →Protection Summary Banner — at the top, shows whether any harmful content was blocked. If blocks were found, it lists which categories (e.g., Pornography, Gambling, Malware) and how many harmful requests were intercepted.
- →Protection Breakdown — a grid of category cards showing blocks by content type. "No attempts detected" means your filters are clean for that category; blocks show the count.
- →Activity Over Time — a chart showing allowed vs blocked traffic over your selected time range (Last Hour, Last Day, Last Week, Last 30 Days). Green = allowed, Red = blocked.
- →Technical Details — an expandable section with total DNS request count and lists of top blocked/allowed domains (e.g., Google APIs, Microsoft services, adult sites). Most top domains are background system traffic, not actual browsing.
Spotting Patterns in the Activity Chart
The Activity Over Time chart at a glance shows query patterns across your selected time range:
- →Late-night spikes — a surge in red (blocked) or green (allowed) after bedtime may indicate device use when it shouldn't be.
- →School hours activity — high query counts during school hours could mean the device is being used during class.
- →Gaps in activity — if you expect the device to be in use but see flat lines, the device's DNS may not be configured correctly on that network.
Reviewing Top Blocked Domains
In the Technical Details section, you'll see the top blocked domains — the sites most frequently intercepted during the selected time range:
- →If you see a legitimate site blocked (e.g., a school resource or work tool), go to the profile's Custom Rules tab and add an Allow Rule for that domain.
- →If you see a harmful domain that should be blocked (e.g., a gambling or adult site that somehow got through), add a Block Rule manually via Custom Rules.
- →If you find a site that should be reviewed, use Report a Website in the Family Protection Centre. Include the domain and explain why it should be blocked or allowed. Add a household Custom Rule if you need an immediate result while the global review is pending.
Many domains in the lists will look unfamiliar — things like metrics.apple.com or a.nel.cloudflare.com. These are background telemetry or content delivery requests from apps, not deliberate browsing. Focus on domain names you recognise that shouldn't be blocked.
Taking Action on Findings
- →If you see a legitimate site being blocked (in the top blocked domains), add an Allow Rule in Custom Rules.
- →If you see a concerning domain in the allowed list, add a Block Rule in Custom Rules.
- →If you notice suspicious activity patterns during school or bedtime hours, consider setting up a Routine on the Routines tab to automatically restrict access during those windows.
- →If you find an unfiltered harmful site or a legitimate site blocked incorrectly, use Report a Website. Reports are reviewed before any global allow or block decision, and verified reports can help protect other families.
Help Protect Other Families
- →If a harmful site gets through—or a legitimate site appears to be blocked incorrectly—open Report a Website in the Family Protection Centre.
- →Provide the URL, choose the closest reason, and explain why you believe the site should be blocked or allowed.
- →Every report enters an admin-only review queue. Verified reports may inform global allow or block policy updates, but no report changes protection automatically.
- →Families helping protect other families: one household’s vigilance can strengthen protection for the wider Fitra Guard community.
What If the Logs Show No Activity?
- →No activity can simply mean the device was idle, off, or intentionally unused. It can also mean the device changed networks, a VPN or encrypted-DNS setting bypassed the profile, setup is incomplete, or recent data has not synced yet.
- →Visit the Device Setup tab and re-check the device's DNS configuration.
- →Fitra Guard can send you an inactivity alert email if a profile shows no queries for the day — you can enable this in the profile's Settings tab.
