Hi,

I love that in the app you can put things in groups and block specific domains and websites per group for Parental Control (although items can only be assigned in one group which is very annoying).

 

However, there is nowhere I can find to apply universal blocks that will apply to any new or old device on the network. So this would apply to any new device joining in the future as well as every device that is there now.

 

If I just lump all my current devices in one group for this universal Parental Control this will still not apply to new devices joining my network unless I go in and do it manually every time (and I have a person who can spoof Mac IDs to avoid my current blocks so I really need this).

 

So, I would like to request in the next firmware update:

 

(1) Ability to apply universal automatic blocking of websites and domains to all devices (current and future).

(2) Retain the current Parental Block group system, but also be able to assign devices to multiple groups.

(3) The ability to put characters in domain-blocks which have symbols. There are many many domains with a dash "-" and your system will not allow me to block them.

(4) Increase the number of blocks (32, or whatever it is now is absolutely miniscule. Maybe 100 per group?).

(5) The ability to whitelist certain Mac IDs ("Mac filtering") instead of just blacklist one-by-one (essential if you have someone spoofing Mac IDs). 

 

Please please please do this soon.
