or the icon (on iOS). This section also contains the Recovery Wizard, which allows
you to bring BOX back to a safe previous configuration.
3.2. Protected devices
As soon as Bitdefender BOX is configured, devices connected to the Internet are
recognized and ready to be part of the network. By default, the network traffic is
monitored for all devices.
You may sort the protected devices into two categories:
Family
Devices added to this category can stay protected even when they are outside the
home network by enabling Private Line. Adding devices to this category is
recommended for your family devices. To take advantage of all the features offered
by this category, an agent must be installed on the devices. For further information
on the features offered for each type of device and platform, refer to the section
“Managing BOX features” (p. 20).
Guest
Devices that are added to this category can only stay protected while they are on
the network. This is recommended for friends or relatives who visit your house.
By default, the traffic of devices in the network is protected without the need to
install the Bitdefender BOX Agent.
When a new device connects to the BOX network, it is automatically added to the Guest
list and will benefit from threat protection. Each time a new device tries to connect to
your network, a notification including its type and name is displayed in the main screen
of the Bitdefender BOX app. For more information on the first stage of managing these
notifications, refer to the section “Notifications” (p. 27).
3.2.1. Family Devices
Family devices connected to the BOX network are protected while they are inside or
outside the home network perimeter by enabling the Private Line feature. Their systems
and online activity are monitored, and events are displayed in the Notifications Center.
