How do I turn off Sky Broadband Shield?

But not all people want the content restrictions imposed by Sky Shield. Additionally, sometimes the content blocks can interfere with the running of other programmes on your computer, such as the VPNs frequently used by home workers.

You can adjust the age rating on your Sky Shield to allow access to more websites. But you may simply want to turn it off, especially if you already have anti-virus software running on your devices.

To turn off Sky Broadband Shield, follow these simple steps:

1. Sign into Sky Broadband Shield, using your Sky ID username and password.
2. Select ‘Disable Shield’.
3. Click ‘Save settings.’

It may take around 15 minutes before you can view previously blocked websites.
