Virtual private network based parental control service with motion-based restricted mode

One or more non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:

• receiving a parental control profile, wherein the parental control profile includes instructions to configure a controlled device for a device motion-based control policy, the device motion-based control policy comprises a condition and a resource that is restricted when the condition met;
• configuring a virtual private network (VPN) using the parental control profile, wherein the VPN comprises a virtual point-to-point connection between the controlled device and a network of a VPN-based parental control service;
• determining that the condition in the device motion-based control policy has been met;
• and
• restricting the controlled device based on initiating a restricted mode on the controlled device to restrict access to the resource corresponding to the condition, wherein access to the resource is restricted using a proxy service implemented using the VPN, wherein the proxy service operates via the VPN at least in part to circumvent a message-receipt verification retry logic of a messaging platform associated with the controlled device.

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a controlling device component coupled with the one or more processors, having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the controlling device component to be configured for:
• receiving a parental control profile, wherein the parental control profile includes instructions to configure a controlled device for a device motion-based control policy, the device motion-based control policy comprises a condition and a resource that is restricted when the condition met;
• configuring a virtual private network (VPN) using the parental control profile, wherein the VPN comprises a virtual point-to-point connection between the controlled device and a network of a VPN-based parental control service;
• determining that the condition in the device motion-based control policy has been met;
• restricting the controlled device based on initiating a restricted mode on the controlled device to restrict access to the resource corresponding to the condition, wherein access to the resource is restricted using a proxy service implemented using the VPN;
• and
• receiving an indication that access to the resource is restricted, wherein the indication comprises one or more custom block messages for at least one of content controls, usage controls or application controls.
