Question
How do I block a device using the McAfee® SHI app?
Answer
The McAfee® Secure Home Internet (SHI) app enables an admin user to block devices in the home network.  A blocked device is prevented from accessing the Internet through the home network.  The device will also be blocked from using apps on mobile devices that need Internet.  The user will see a blocked page informing them their device is blocked from the Internet right now.  With Apps, the Network Error screen will appear.  The user will need to ask the admin directly to unblock the device.  This document describes how to a block device.
