Yes, many of Bark’s features can be bypassed.
The VPN that handles Bark’s website and app filtering and screen time features can easily be turned off in the Android device settings. This allows your child to access websites and use apps freely. Bark will send an alert to your dashboard if this happens, but it can’t prevent your child from disabling the VPN.
During my tests, I was also able to use the Brave browser to prevent Bark from monitoring my browsing history. Bark never alerted me that Brave had been installed, and I was also never notified when I visited websites that should have triggered alerts. For a parental control app that is able to block and monitor the Brave browser, I recommend Net Nanny.
