My current router does not allow URL filter for individual devices. Many parents would like to limit the amount of time kids consume social media and streaming nowadays, but they cannot restrict the internet access because most schools has adopted online learning and they will need internet to access online school materials. What action is recommended? Can ASUS parental control feature do this? Thanks
I’ve been working on setting up laptops for my kids and Microsoft has done a ton on this. Create them Microsoft accounts and log tbem into their windows machine with said account. You can then manage that device from your Microsoft account. Block apps, setting screen time, web filtering using Edge, your kids can request access to apps and you can approve it from an app, and you get reports every week of their device usage if you want. Overall I’m honestly surprised how much control it gave me.
At the end of the day having multiple layers is the best approach. Setting up both a DNS filter like pihole and using managed accounts should stop most unwanted usage of devices.
