Specify IP address range for bypass of blocked sites and parental controls
We run a number of Chrome OS devices in our house (and thus can't install the Netgear Genie app on these devices), but would like to bypass blocked keywords/sites/domans and parental controls on thes...
Are you using both Parental Controls and keyword blocking? If so, don't bother using keyword blocking. It's a fool's errand. There's no way to come up with an exhaustive set of keywords to filter (try blocking Youtube; just youtube.com won't cut it!). Worse, keyword blocking doesn't work on https URLs.
Stick with Parental Controls. With it, you should be able to exempt as many devices as you want.
