| IMPORTANT NOTE: DrayTek routers which support GlobalView come with a one-time 30-day free trial of GlobalView. If you have purchased a 12-month GlobalView subscription, you should apply the subscription only once the trial expires in order to maximise your value (effectively giving you a 13-month first period). Subscriptions cannot be set to automatically run consecutively so a new subscription will permanently cancel/void any previous subscription or trial period. |
You GlobalView subscription provides you with DrayTek's Web filtering service, where web sites are categorised according to content type so that your users, or groups of users are blocked from accesses those categories which you consider inappropriate or unsuitable. For further details of GlobalView, click here.
Access your router's Web interface and select the 'Web content Filter Profile' menu under 'CSM'. You will see your subscription status shown, which will be 'Status : Not Activated' initially. Click the 'Activate' button shown:
That will take you directly to the MyVigor Web Portal. From the MyVigor Portal, you control all DrayTek service subscriptions. If you do not already have one, you will need to create one (details here). If you already have a Myvigor account, log in with your username and password:
If you have not already done so, your actual Draytek product needs to be added to your MyVigor account. Under 'My Information' you will find your products. Click 'Add' to add your new product:

The status of your subscription will be shown. Remember that activating a new subscription cancels any previous subscription or trial period if it is still valid so if your current period has not expired yet, you may wish to wait until a later date. Click the 'Renew' button:
