R8500 Parental control

Hi,

I want to create a parental for few devices.
On the router that i had before i was able to block MAC Adress during the selected period of time, or to block domain/Peer to peer connections per MAC ADRESS.

But now, as i see, i must use OPENDNS Umbrella control with DNS that is easy to bypass by changing dns setting on the phone/laptop.

And I can't block P2P connection like youtube/netflix mobile app.

I just want to block the total access to internet during a selected period (8pm to 8am) for devices that are on the blacklist.

Have you got any ideas?

Thank You

Hi @Jules13,

 

Welcome to the community!

 

If you have looked over the option of the LPC feature using OpenDNS, then you may consider the steps below for blocking Internet access for a specific time frame.

 

What you can try is use a combination of features: Address reservation, Schedule, and Block Services.

 

First, you can do Address Reservation for your kids devices and set them on a range (i.e. 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.10). Steps are linked below.

Second, set a schedule (i.e. 22:00 to 06:00). Steps are linked below.

Third, set to block all services. Steps are linked below.
