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 set up Nextdns for my parents to use for my younger siblings and it’s worked great. Others suggest pi hole but I’d say Nextdns free is enough for a kid or get the plan and use it yourself too for ad blocking out of the house. PiHole is too much work and maintenance for this task. You have to maintain blocklists, etc. And if you don’t have one, a raspberry pi is more expensive than many years of nextdns. Nextdns works outside the house easily for kids devices without the need for vpn setups which will be annoying to set up on children’s devices. Also has a whole feature set for easy parental controls. My two cents.
