Step-by-Step Setup Guide
Step 1: Install the Peace of Mind Chrome Extension
Install the Peace of Mind Filter extension on Chrome. Create your account with an email address and start your 7-day free trial. All 14 protection layers activate immediately: AI image scanning, 13M domain bloom filter, real-time text scanning, outgoing message blocking, and all social media controls.
Step 2: Download and Apply the Config Profile
Log in to your Peace of Mind dashboard and download the enterprise config profile for your platform:
- Mac: Download the .mobileconfig file. Double-click it and approve it in System Preferences > Profiles. The profile takes effect immediately.
- Windows: Download the .reg file. Right-click and select "Run as administrator." The registry policies take effect after restarting Chrome.
The config profile force-installs the Peace of Mind extension so it cannot be removed from Chrome's extension page. It also applies all the security policies described below.
Step 3: Follow the Lockdown Guide
The config profile automatically enforces these Chrome policies:
- Extension force-installed — Cannot be removed from chrome://extensions.
- DevTools completely disabled — No access to the browser's developer tools, which could be used to modify page content.
- Incognito mode blocked — No incognito option appears in the Chrome menu.
- Guest mode blocked — No guest browsing option available.
- Other extensions blocked — Prevents installing other extensions that could interfere with filtering.
The lockdown guide also walks you through these additional steps:
- Switch to a standard (non-admin) user account — Prevents modifying system files or removing the config profile.
- Enable disk encryption — FileVault on Mac, BitLocker on Windows. Prevents accessing the filesystem from a boot drive.
- Set a firmware/BIOS password — Prevents booting from external media to bypass the standard account restriction.
Step 4: Secure Admin Access
Have a trusted person set the admin account password, or store it in a time-locked vault. Without admin access, the config profile cannot be removed, the extension cannot be uninstalled, and the lockdown cannot be undone. This is the final step that closes every bypass vector.
