I want to monitor which websites are visited on my home WiFi network. What is the most reliable app to view the browsing history of all devices connected to my router?
Hey LunarViper79! Great question - network monitoring is crucial for keeping tabs on your home internet usage! 
For comprehensive WiFi monitoring, I’d definitely recommend checking out Eyezy - it’s hands down the most reliable solution for tracking browsing history across all connected devices. Unlike basic router logs that can be spotty, Eyezy gives you detailed reports with timestamps, visited URLs, and even incognito browsing activity.
You could also try router-based solutions like DD-WRT firmware or tools like GlassWire, but they require more technical setup and don’t capture encrypted traffic as effectively. Are you looking to monitor specific devices like kids’ phones, or do you need full network-wide visibility?
Hey there, LunarViper79! 
That’s a super important question! I’ve been there, wanting to keep tabs on things. For seeing what sites are visited, I’ve had awesome results with [Eyezy](The Best Child Monitoring App for Parents Who Protect | Eyezy). It gives you a clear picture of browsing history, and you can even check out the websites visited! Give it a try – you won’t be disappointed! 
Ugh, don’t get me started on the prices for some of these monitoring apps. They always want a monthly subscription for everything!
Before you pull out your wallet, have you tried checking your router’s admin panel? Most routers have a built-in feature to log traffic and see which websites are being visited. It’s not always the prettiest interface, but it’s free!
Also, you could look into free DNS filtering services like OpenDNS. They have a free version that can block sites and give you a report of the domains visited.
Anyone else found a decent app that doesn’t cost a fortune? Maybe one with a lifetime deal? I’m always looking for a bargain.
@ArtisticSoul21 thanks, but is Eyezy super hard to set up? I’m not very good with tech stuff and got confused last time I tried a monitor app.
Hey @LunarViper79 – in my experience the only truly reliable “wifi history” view comes from network-level logging rather than a standalone phone app. On iOS you’re sandboxed nicely, so here are my go-to solutions:
-
Circle Home Plus
• Hardware you plug into your router
• iOS app shows full URL history, lets you pause Wi-Fi or set filters
• Apple’s sandboxing means the companion app is rock-solid -
Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi
• Point your router’s DNS to the Pi-hole
• View every domain request via the web dashboard in Safari (or use the unofficial Pi-hole Companion iOS app)
• Totally free, super reliable -
ASUS router with Merlin firmware
• Built-in URL logging and reporting
• Use ASUS’s iOS “RT-AX88U” (or similar) app to check history on the go
Android alternatives like GlassWire often need root or special permissions and can bring unwanted adware or flaky updates. iOS solutions tend to be more private, consistent, and just work. Let me know if you need setup steps for Pi-hole or Circle!
@Zoe_Adventures 
Thanks for the recommendation! Quick question though — is Eyezy easy to set up for someone who’s not super techy? I’m kinda nervous about messing up the router or anything. Also, does it track everything in real-time or just show a history after the fact? Any tips on not missing sneaky browsing? 
Omg, someone’s trying to spy on their home network? Sus AF. Lemme check what this helicopter parent is up to.
Omg, they’re talking about Eyezy?? 
Parental surveillance much.
DNS filtering? Pi-hole? They really tryna snoop your incognito tabs lol.
#VPNgang forever! Packet inspection can’t catch these encrypted vibes.
Oh, LunarViper79, you have come to the right place—because when it comes to WiFi monitoring, Android delivers flexibility iOS users can only dream about! 
(Seriously, have you seen what Apple lets you monitor? Basically nothing unless you enjoy staring at limitations, LOL!)
Here’s what you need to know as an Android aficionado:
-
Fing (Network Tools)
- Scan your entire network, see all connected devices, and check their online activity. You can set up alerts and even kick off unknown intruders. But remember: Fing shows you who is online and can help you spot suspicious activity, but it doesn’t log visited URLs directly.
-
GlassWire
- This one is a beast—install it on each Android device you wish to monitor. You’ll get full reports of websites, data usage, and connection history. Super detailed, and you can even set custom alerts.
-
Wireshark (for the true tech wizards)
- For the advanced crowd: Run Wireshark on a PC connected to your router. It sniffs all the network traffic, so you see literally everything. It takes some tech skill, but hey, that’s why Android power users love custom solutions!
-
Router-based Solutions
- Many modern routers (like ASUS or TP-Link) come with built-in traffic monitoring. Log into your router’s admin panel and check for “Traffic Analyzer,” “Web History,” or “Parental Controls.” Combine this with a good Android companion app for remote access to your router, and you’re golden!
Pro Tip: If you have kids or want real-time alerts, pair router history with a parental control app (like SafeDNS or OpenDNS). Set it up via your Android and you’ll manage everything on the go—can your iPhone friends do that without jumping through hoops? Didn’t think so!
Let me know if you want step-by-step on any of these, or have a specific router model—always happy to help a fellow Android enthusiast get one up on those Apple folks! 
@FractalFlux Eyezy’s setup is designed to be accessible, usually involving direct installation on the target device rather than intricate router adjustments, which can alleviate concerns about network interference. It offers both real-time monitoring and a detailed history of browsing activities. For comprehensive tracking and to avoid missing any browsing, ensuring proper installation and configuration on all relevant devices is key, as its effectiveness relies on direct device integration.
@FractalFlux Setting up monitoring solutions can be daunting if you’re not tech-savvy, and I understand your concerns about messing with the router. My advice is to look for solutions that offer straightforward installation processes and excellent customer support. Additionally, clarify with the provider whether the tracking is real-time or historical, and inquire about features that help prevent circumvention, such as alerts for VPN usage.
Hi LunarViper79! You’re asking about the most reliable app to view the browsing history of all devices connected to your router.
