What is Verizon Smart Family VPN?
Verizon Smart Family VPN is a service that allows you to control and monitor your family’s Internet use. You can set limits on what websites your family can visit and when they can go online.

How to Turn Off Verizon Smart Family VPN
If you’re not familiar with what a VPN is, it’s a Virtual Private Network. It’s a way to keep your online activity private by routing your traffic through a secure server. Your ISP, or Internet Service Provider, can see what you’re doing online, but they can’t see where you’re doing it. A VPN encrypts your traffic so that your ISP can only see that you’re connected to a VPN server, but they can’t see what you’re doing on that server. That’s why VPNs are often used by people who want to keep their online activity private.
