Circle on Netgear Router

Thank you Dexter for your feedback.

I have been looking more closely at the sites that are counting time.  Some of them I have put into unmanaged but the sites that are the biggest users of time on line are only presented by their IP address as numbers.  It appears I can't place these in unmanaged mode.  

I have also learned there does appear to be plenty of "background" internet use by wide variety of different sites I never would have dreamed of.  Interesting so may places have access to our devices.  I realize that many of these places are internet distributers etc and are used by the major providers (e.g Google).  This does make it hard however, for something like Circle to acutally count the time that one may actually be on the internet.  This makes it difficult for me to justify using Circle as it doesn't count internet time as the actual time used by someone.  I could set limits to the amount of time to access Youtube, snapchat etc but this doesn't limit the use of a device to say "3hr/day."(or am I wrong?)  I realize that Circle wants to monitor Internet usage but something like "screen time" would make more sense to me, as I don't really care about the internet that is being used in the background, only the time my child is using their phone.  Screen time could be the amount of time the phone screen is lit up for instance.  This seems like a better way to gage how someone is "on their device" than the acutal time spent on the internet.

Is there a way for Circle (using a router) to monitor something like "screen time?"

Thank you.
