What will the user see when frozen?

When a device is frozen, it will not be able to access content. How that is displayed depends on the content you are trying to access. If you try to load an HTTP site, you will be redirected to the captive portal screen. However, if it is an HTTPS site, the page will simply timeout or say it cannot be reached. 

    

 

Plume also gives you the ability to pause internet access on a device or person instantly through the Time Out feature.
