Who is it for?

eGate is designed for Android phone and tablet users, especially for personal and family use. It works as a simple device management system, giving you control over important settings—like which apps can be installed, whether Wi-Fi tethering or hotspots are allowed, and how the browser is configured. You can also use eGate to enforce a network filter, helping ensure safe and consistent device use.

Pros:

  • Helps prevent factory reset and multiple user accounts
  • Can be set to enforce Weatec approved DNS filter
  • One-time cost

Cons:

  • May need to factory reset the device before installation.
  • Requires Android Debug Bridge (ADB) commands for installation.
  • Not centrally managed & limited support options

Note: After testing, eGate has been approved as an acceptable category-based content filter if configured to meet the requirements set forth in the Weaverland Conference Electronic Technology Usage Guidelines. Please remember that no filter can be guaranteed to filter out all objectionable content; therefore the Weatec Accountability Software must be installed on all devices in order to be in compliance with Weaverland Conference guidelines. By logging all web traffic, the Weatec Accountability Software fosters brotherhood accountability. Keep in mind that, even if objectionable content is missed by eGate, the content will still trigger a flag on the accountability server. Use the following configuration as a minimum; there is nothing preventing you from choosing stricter settings.
