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 use TP-Link decos. I can set time limits as well as parental filters. I can even block specific URLs like Facebook and TikTok. It’s not that expensive.

    Get a pfsense firewall. Setup dhcp and reserve ip based on their mac address. Then google pfsense parental filtering and control

    NextDNS is also an option, would be similar to pihole recommendation but just in the cloud. Has a parental control section.

    Any good router should have parental controls and timers

    Also make a free NextDNS and setup filters and then use that as your DNS provider on all devices

    You also setup the devices so the kids cannot change the DNS

    By doing this you can keep them from ever loading a bad site

    Also use the parental controls inside you kids favorite app like robolux or whatever

    Good luck ;)

    Get a Firewalla router. Makes powerful parental controls trivial to implement.
