Updated: Aug 5

The Internet can sometimes be a scary place for kids. One of the best way to make sure the Internet is a safe and healthy place for kids is to use parental controls.

These controls allow parents to set boundaries by blocking inappropriate content and setting specific times, like bedtime, when internet access is restricted.

In the side panel, select Applications, then Parental Control.

If you are on a mobile device, you may need to click the = in the top right to open the panel.



Enable Parental Control and select Apply

Select the devices you want to block.

If you don't see the device you want to block, check the device's name or MAC


Now that these devices are selected, let's set up rules for bedtime. Make sure the ruleset says 'Block Internet Access' and click Finish

Done, Now we need to set the hours the kids can normally use the Internet. Make sure the Rulset says "No Limit"

Click apply and now you're done.


You can Customize individual day schedules to make exceptions or the weekends We will do that in a moment when setting up an Adult Content Block.


But first, Let's make sure the router is in the right timezone so the schedule triggers correctly.
