    Hey,

    Got a new phone on Monday (Galaxy S6) and noticed that when I'm on websites there's a funny icon appearing, turns out it's Vodafone Secure Net.

    Have 0 clue what this is - I assume it's some sort of security/AV/etc type thing. Anyone use this? There doesn't appear to be an app for this though, it's all very odd.

    Any advice? I can simply disable it (I think).

    Its some sort of filter, like the porn filter that Three use:
    Features
    Manage your devices
    Add and manage all your family's devices.

    Block unsafe websites
    Block unsafe websites and allow access to safe websites.

    Block unsafe files
    Prevent your devices from downloading harmful files.

    Check your reports
    See your and your family's activities in charts.

    Manage digital downtime
    Decide when your family can go online.

    If they're scanning files they're either not scanning much or breaching your privacy and breaking HTTPS just FYI. If its a work phone, this is normal.

    There should be a "Vodafone" app somewhere on your device, this is what download the vodafone suite of apps to your device.
