Elder Protect
Scam protection that just works. No tech skills required.
Whether you're protecting yourself or setting it up for a parent — Manaia blocks scam websites before they load. They can click all they want — most known scam pages won't open.*
The reality
Your parents grew up trusting institutions. Scammers know that.
Fake bank websites, phony government emails, “you've won” texts — they're designed to look real. Manaia blocks them before the page loads.
These scams are everywhere. You've probably seen a few.
If any of these sound familiar — whether it happened to you, your parents, or your in-laws — Manaia stops the dangerous website from loading.
An email from a “prince” or long-lost relative who needs help moving money. The link goes to a fake payment page. Looks real. It’s not. With Manaia, that page doesn’t load.*
A text from “Australia Post” about a parcel you never ordered. The link goes to a fake tracking site that asks for your credit card to “release the delivery.” With Manaia, the site doesn’t open.*
A pop-up says your computer is infected and you need to download something urgently. Or a toolbar that promises to “speed up your internet.” Three toolbars later, your homepage is something called SearchBaronz. With Manaia, those download pages are blocked.*
An email says you’ve won a Mediterranean cruise. Just need to “confirm your details” on a website that looks surprisingly professional. Nobody has won a cruise. With Manaia, the “confirmation” page never loads.*
A text says your CommBank account has been “suspended.” You tap the link and the login page looks exactly like CommBank. It’s not CommBank. With Manaia, you tap the link and get absolutely nowhere.*
Someone lovely on a dating site. A widowed engineer working overseas. After a few weeks, they need help with a money transfer. The “bank” website they send? Fake. With Manaia, that site is blocked — and a safety signal flags the pattern.*
Every one of these involves a dodgy website. Manaia blocks most known scam sites before the page loads.*
What Elder Protect Does
Set it up yourself, or have someone in your family do it for you. Either way, it runs quietly in the background.
Scams blocked automatically
Fake bank pages, dodgy government look-alikes, prize scams — blocked before Mum or Dad even sees them. No training required.
Breach alerts in plain English
If their email appears in a data breach, you both get a clear alert: what happened, what was exposed, and exactly what to do. No jargon.
New device alerts
Get notified if an unfamiliar device joins their home network. Catches everything from a compromised smart TV to someone piggybacking their WiFi.
Quiet safety signals
Manaia watches for patterns that could mean trouble — crypto sites followed by money transfers, banking at unusual hours, repeated visits to known scam domains. Flagged to you, not to them.
Manage it from your phone
See what’s been blocked, check protection status, adjust settings — all from your phone. No awkward ‘let me look at your computer’ conversation.
Manaia Home Lite
A small box that plugs into your router. That's the whole setup. Every device on your home WiFi is protected automatically — no apps to install, no passwords to remember, nothing to configure.
Setting it up for a parent? Even better. They'll need their own Elder Protect plan, plus a Home Lite for their home. Plug it in at their place and walk away. No “Mum, tap the green button” phone calls required.
Signing up for yourself?
Good on you. Elder Protect starts at $19.95/mo and takes about two minutes to set up. It protects your devices via the Manaia app. Want your whole home network covered too? Add a Home Lite device to your plan.
Get startedSetting it up for a parent?
Protect the people who protected you. Your parent will need their own Elder Protect plan — add one to your cart. For whole-home coverage at their place, add a Home Lite device too (one per home). You can manage it all from your phone.
Need to manage protection for multiple households? Guardian Pro supports co-parent shared access across homes.
