Missing Features for Family Admins..
Hi,
I started this Thread to collect missing features for family admins, maybe this is useful for future release plans.
1) Time Ranges in LAN
Time Ranges IMHO can be applied to WiFis only,
but I (as many other family admins) probably want to restrict access to LAN eg. at nighttime,
(no gaming, no streaming etc.)
2) WWW Blacklist / Whitelist
Not every content is appropriate for young users...,
hence Blacklisting/Whitelisting of Websites/URLs would be of great use.
[Edited] URL Filtering is a good start - but could benefit from batch features eg. importing common published blacklists
3) Easy Family / Parental Control
Pros could easily setup 1) / 2),
a more sophisticated Parental Control UI could help, that should combine
-> scheduling (Time Ranges), eg. 1 Schedule for multiple networks and clients (e.g. "Johnboy's Schedule" - 8AM-8PM apllied to all of his devices in all nets... with few clicks...)
and
-> filtering,
e.g. allowing/denying typical known TCP/UDP port groups for Gaming, Streaming
e.g. allowing/denying typical known URLs of Shopping/Gambbling/Adult-Websites
and
--> quota,
e.g. xx minutes / MBytes of Gaming per day / per week
e.g. xx minutes / MBytes of social media per day / per week
Apples or others family features could give a headstart for feature definition ;-)
I Would like to see any of those in future release... especially as even simpler/cheaper Hardware at least has some of those features.
Anyone, feel free to add to the list.
Regards, Tom
