Can my child install a VPN service onto their HMD Fuse without me knowing?

While Website Block is enabled, your child won’t be able to install a VPN profile onto the HMD Fuse phone.

If access to the Google Play Store is enabled, your child will be able to download and install a VPN app, but the app won’t be accessible to your child until a guardian grants access to it from their HarmBlock+ app.

If a VPN app has been installed and a VPN profile created before Website Block has been enabled, enabling Website Block will block the VPN from being used.
