Fingbox launches on Indiegogo – Secure and Troubleshoot your Home Network

If you keep a close eye on tech related crowdfunding campaigns, then chances are high that you will have already heard of Fingbox, a new piece of hardware from the makers of the Find app.

Fingbox plugs straight into your router and allows you to secure and troubleshoot your home network easily and effectively. It is controlled via the app (which itself has had over 15 million downloads) and alerts you to any changes to your network. It will also update you on your internet performance, notify you when there are intruders on your network and allow you to monitor who is using the internet – perfect for parents who suspect their kids of sneaking onto the web when they should be doing their homework.

The Indiegogo campaign has already reached over $225,000 in pledges with more than 3 weeks still left to run.
