Parental Control Apple Mac WNR200v2

Hi,

 

I've installed and configured LPC and it looks dead simple. I've set the level to high. My ipad is blocking porn sites, but my apple mac OSX is not. DNS servers are configured correct in the router. What can cause the ipad is working with LPC as expected and the Mac OSX 10.10.5 is not?

 

Thanks!

Genie

    Hi @rodeknop,

     

    1. Do you have static DNS values configured on the MAC computer?

    2. Did you previously setup a bypass account through the NETGEAR Genie app on the MAC?

     

    Regards,

      Hi @rodeknop,

       

      Please try manually setting the filtering level to High for the MAC computer. You ca do this through the NETGEAR Genie app. You can download the latest version for your device using the link below.

      1. Open the app.

      2. Select Parental Controls and make sure you are logged in and it is Enabled.

      3. Select Network Map and login if prompted.

      4. Select the MAC computer on the the Network Map.
