Parental Control ALL Devices

Hey, I'm trying to add parental controls on my router in order to block certain sites from all devices that connect to my network. I don't want these sites getting through my router at all, regardless of the device, and I don't want any new devices being added to the network to be able to access those sites either. Let me reiterate: I want to COMPLETELY block a set of sites from my home. 
I've got a Linksys E2500 at home and as far as I can tell, it only allows me to block individual devices from accessing certain sites. Does anybody know how to get the results I'm looking for with this router? If not, does anybody know of a router that Linksys manufactures that offers this capability? Thanks in advance for your help.

For this purpose I have deployed EA3500 and EA4500 models. These have the parental controls that you want are work well on under 100mb internet connections.
I don't recommend the update to the Cloud firmware as it is buggy and you lose exacting control over your network but the Classic firmware is available and excellent.
There is an issue with some ADSL modems but I have a firmware fix for that.
You would use a combination of parental control and wireless MAC Address filtering. Also if you want to know and label the device on your network DHCP IP Address reservation and label the device there.
Pick of the Parental Controls on these models:

  • Can i parental control all computers through time capsule

    can i set parental control on time capsule to filter all the internet in my house?

    First, you need to define how you want to restrict this boarder's access.
    Do you want to enter a list of websites to prevent him from reaching?
    Do you want to stop internet access at certain times of day?
    Do you want to limit the amount of data they use?
    Something else?
    You might not need to buy anything more. How do you get your Internet? Is your cable or DSL modem also a router? Because if it is, you may be able to accomplish your restriction through your modem, instead of your Time Capsule.
    My DSL router is very well equipped, so I use it for my router and I put my Time Capsule in bridge mode. When I look at the admininstrative page for my router, I see numerous options for access controls, many more than in Time Capsule. There are blocking lists based on MAC (Media Access Control) address, IP address, time of day, domain name, etc. And if you're lucky, your modem may allow you to apply specific restrictions to individual computers (by MAC or IP address).
    So check your cable/DSL modem, study its configuration pages and its manual, to see if it is also a router with extensive blocking capabilities. Unfortunately, as a novice, you might not have a good handle on what to set, where, and how. That's why the first sentence of this post is important: First define exactly what type of restriction you have in mind, then see if you can locate an option in your wireless modem/router that will handle that for you. Then you might have to study the manual and do a little reading on the Web to understand how to do what you're trying to do. You can also ask on the forum for your cable/DSL modem, at dslreports.com.

  • Can labview control all device besides VISA/GPIB/​VXI???

    If it can, what is the procedure I need to do?
    I am trying to use Labview for programming my PCI control card, but the
    mamufacture only provide me a Vxd file, so i am wondering whether Labview
    help me.
    Thanks for ur attention, hope u can help me.

    National Instruments can't help you here. Only the manufacturer can.
    A VxD file is just a virtual device driver for the card. You will
    need some sort of DLL or ActiveX server from the mfg. to be able to
    send commands to the card. Otherwise you will at least need a
    register map from the mfg. and instructions on register programming
    the card from them. If you do register programming then you will need
    to do it in Win98 or WinME, etc. NOT WinNT or Win2000 as you can't get
    access to real memory from those O/S's.
    (Well actually you can if you hunt around enough on the internet to
    find somebody with a DLL to sell you that lets you write to real
    memory.)

  • BT Parental Controls - unable to process your requ...

    Last night (Sunday 7 December) I activated the BT Parental Controls and blocked a few websites just to test it out.
    With three boys I was curious to see what level of protection BT Parental Controls offered.
    However this evening when I log in to My BT and click on the "Manage" button for BT Parental Controls all I get is this error message:
    We are unable to process your request due to technical error.
    What needs to be done to allow me to access these settings please?
    I didn't realise that activating BT Parental Controls would block the use of Google Public DNS which I'm using for a number of devices so I would now like to disable the BT Parental Controls but obviously am unable to.
    Many thanks
    Gareth

    I have been experiencing the same problems for nearly a fortnight and have had numerous conversations with the so called tecnical support who tell me it will be fixed soon!!.I would like to know when but so far no luck.There is obviously a fault or lack of interest on BT's part.They are supposed to be calling me again tomorrow, so will update if they do.

  • Parental Controls causing login to hang

    Parental Controls in Leopard - trouble.
    I have an iMac G5 (ambient light sensor), 1.8Ghz, 2GB RAM. Previously ran Parental Controls, having one managed account, plus other unmanaged and admin accounts.
    I prepared for Leopard upgrade: disabled and stopped all Tiger Parental Controls. Upgraded "in place" to Leopard, applied Parental Controls (all apps allowed, only a whitelist of web sites applied), and BOOM! the managed account gets past login window, but then the beach ball spins,... and spins,..
    I took a look at the Console and see that multiple REQUIRED services are terminating with "Permission denied", then bailing and respawning, ad infinitum. Problems are:
    ATSServer (Font manager),
    pboard (copy & paste manager), and most importantly (I think) is:
    UserEventAgent, for allowing system and user events to be handled.
    Anyway, infinite loop... the managed user never gets a Desktop. I have gone to 10.5.1, and all other updates. I have disabled File Sharing. I have removed all from the Spotlight list. I have used Disk Utility to Repair File Permissions, a couple of times, actually. All with no effect.
    Summary: Turning OFF Parental Controls, the user account gets to the Desktop - all is well; I turn ON Parental Controls and the beachball spins until hard reboot.
    Has anybody had it this bad? Why would I think Archive & Install would be any better?
    I will paste from the system.log, if it would help. Insight? Observations?

    Hi Ben
    My brand new iMac had a kernel panic the day after it arrived. I went through a long checking procedure which revealed nothing. Only then did I think to read the panic log, not expecting to see any words that meant much. Lo and behold - Parental Controls clearly cited as the culprit!
    Because my kids complained that they could not access loads of sites that they always used to (even with Intego's Content Barrier in use on my older mac) I switched off the 'restrict access to adult sites' option but left the time restrictions on. There has not been a repeat of the kernel panic since, although I didn't realise the connection at the time.
    Maybe give that a try, assuming you have had that option switched on when you had the crashes?
    At this point, I don't think an A&I is going to help much.
    Either way, I'm going to feedback to Apple and maybe it will get fixed in the next update.

  • HT201304 It would be tremendously helpful to be able to access, set restrictions, and make changes from the parents device to all devices under the same iTunes account, so that I could make changes to my kids devices without physical access.

    Please help!
    It would be tremendously helpful to be able to access, set restrictions, and make changes from the parents device, to all devices under the same iTunes account, so that I could make changes to my kids devices without physical access.
    I understand that I can set up a different Apple ID for the kids devices, or take physical control of the device and make the changes myself. However, my teenage son is technically savvy enough to have a job in Silicon Valley, as are most young people these days. However, in order to access his devices the current way, I first have to bypass the four digit pass code. This starts a fight of why I need in the device and continues to escalate. The argument that I am the parent will gain access but the fight is simply exhausting, and quite frankly shouldn't have to happen at all. He is not yet an adult, he did not pay for his iPad or iPhone and I, as a parent, should have not only have the right to change options at will, and from anywhere, but look at history or current activity when I feel like it.
    I currently have the settings where app and in-app purchases require my password to be put in, and he must come to me to type it in, but I need more control and would like, and should be able to access any of our six devices and make individual changes simply by logging in to my account, with my password.
    If I can see all my devices on the "Lost My iPhone" app, this technology should be easy to make happen.
    C'mon parents! I have a pretty good kid, given all things that they can get into, but I am not stupid. For everything I see has been done, there is much more I haven't seen. I want my children to be kept safe and be able to know what they are looking at or listening to. We parents are the only ones who know our beliefs and what our kids can handle and when.
    Thanks for any support or information that I may be missing in order to fulfill my request.

    There are mobile device management solutions that can do this, including in Apple's OS X Server system, but most parents generally find that setting this up is more work than it's worth. If you're interested, though, there are a couple that at least purport to be free (I don't know if there are any hidden "gotchas"):
    http://www.unwireddevicelink.com/features/
    https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager
    and Apple's system:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#profile-manager
    I don't think any, however, allow you to see current activity or browser history. iOS doesn't expose those to access from MDM solutions, to the best of my knowledge.
    Regards.

  • Airport Base Station-Do g devices slow it down?  Parental controls

    I need to purchase a new Wi-Fi router and am looking at several but am looking at the Airport Base Station.
    Most of my devices such as my Mac's all use N networking but other devices such as my Xbox 360 use g networking. When doing research on the Airport Base Station I read that when you connect G devices to the Airport Base Station it will slow down the entire network to G speed so that all your N devices really only get G speed.
    Is this still an issue? Does the newer version of the Airport Base Station still do this? Has there been a firmware or hardware upgrade that solves this issue?
    Also, when it comes to parental controls, does the AEBS have good parental controls? What I'm most interested in is being able to block specific websites such as Facebook so that all devices connected to the network would not be able to access Facebook. When I read up on the AEBS it appears to have some parental controls but you can't block specific websites. Is this true?
    Another router I'm looking at is the Cisco Linksys E2000. A friend of mine has a E1000 and loves it. When doing research I became interested in the E2000 since it has gigabit ports.
    Would g devices slow down all n devices connected to it though? What I'm wondering is if the issue with g devices is related to the AEBS or all n routers. What I like it is seems the E1000/E2000 has great parental controls for website blocking.
    Thank you for your help.

    The AirPorts have no parental control capability so your choices are really down to the Cisco products.
    As far as whether a "g" device will slow down an "n" device on a compatible network, it's all pretty much relative. If the "g" device is an iPhone, and the iPhone is connected to the network, I see no slowdown at all on the connection to my "n" Mac.
    If I'm downloading something to the iPhone, the Mac may slow just a bit...maybe 10-15% during the iPhone download...but it does not drop down to "g" level wireless at any time.

  • TS2972 "select share" of home share on itunes - is home share an all or nothing share? Is there a way to use parent controls to share some portions with children's iphones?

    Is home share an all or nothing selection, or is there a way to "select share" with children's 5c iphones. Parent control feature to home share?
    Thanks in advance!

    I can't promise this works as I haven't tested this however on every iOS Device in the Settings app under General & Restrictions you have the ability to restrict a ton of options.
    Here's my two cents which you could try:
    On the iOS Device go to settings -> General -> Restrictions
    Go to the Music section, the TV Shows section, & Movies Section and select the appropriate rating you want your kids to have access to.
    After setting this up try accessing the home sharing and see if the content you want blocked still shows up on their devices.
    If the content still shows up then:
    On iTunes on your PC or Mac find the content you wish to block (Home Movies, Movies, TV Shows, Music, etc)
    Right click on the items you want blocked and change the rating (for example to R or NC-17). 
    I haven't tried this myself however on paper at least I think it should work.  If it does please report back and let everyone know and congrats on the new phones

  • HT201304 iOS parental controls do not prevent the child from changing the device passcode.

    So the parent cannot get into the device at all unless the child provides the passcode. Sure, the device can be taken away until the child provides the passcode, but why don't parental controls just prevent the passcode from being changed?  Either that, or the parental control passcode should allow the parent to get into the device, over-riding the passcode lock.

    We are not Apple iOS programmers.  Just device users like yourself.

  • Safari has stopped working properly since upgrading to Mountain Lion.  Have parental controls in place and it will not add websites.  Also short cuts at top of tabs now all messed up!

    Since upgrading to mountain lion the other day (from lion) safari has not been working properly.  I have parental controls in place but seem unable to add new web pages to allowed list - wasn't expecting to have to anyway - these are webpages that were working perfectly well on safari prior to upgrade.  Also the shortcuts above the tabs on safari are all now messed up.
    Any advice on how to fix - I am not a computer expert so keep it simple please!
    In the meantime I am having to use Firefox.
    Thanks

  • My Apple TV can control all the apple devices in my home including my other family members devices why?

    My Apple TV can control all the apple devices in my home including my other family members devices why? I have home sharing on so my MacBook pro, iPad, and iPhone can be put on my tv. How do I only contol my devices?

    Lots of questions but essentially you want to try three steps:
    Reset the power on the device
    - issue continue?
    Reset all settings from: Settings > General > Reset all settings > Reset All Settings
    - issue continue?
    Restore the devices software: Settings > General > Restore > Retore
    - issue continue?
    You likely have a hardware issue. Visit an Apple Retail Store

  • I would like to know how to block a website on all of Firefox, without using parental controls.

    I remember some kind of control or perhaps an add on being advertized for one of the recent beta versions of Firefox 4.0 about blocking particular websites from all viewing on Firefox, not just as a parental control. The add-ons I saw are not for 4.0 Beta 12, the version I'm on now. Can anyone steer me to this feature, if it exists? Thank you!

    Possibly BlockSite - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/blocksite
    This one does not work on Firefox 4 but the developer is working on a new version.
    You could use the Windows HOSTS file to block sites - http://allthingsmarked.com/2006/08/28/howto-block-websites-using-the-hosts-file

  • Parental controls blocks all https websites

    When I enabled parental controls for my 9-year old, I didn't expect her not to be able to use Google, Gmail and just about every single other website that requires logging in. The reason? Those websites are all https websites and parental controls blocks *ALL* https websites.
    With https becoming more and more prevalent on the web, adding an exception is not really an option anymore. I don't want to add an exception for half of the internet. It's gotten so bad that she's encountering a popup several times per minute when just doing a little research for her homework. Web filtering is apparently a whilelist only solution, suitable only for the smallest of children - the ones that you sit next to because they can't type a web address themselves, 5 years or younger.
    The only solution I could find was to turn off web filtering completely and use OpenDNS instead. Does anyone else know of a better solution?

    Hello,
    A alternative application as a option that is very worthy,

  • HT1904 if i purchased my device with my money is it legal for someone else to put on the parental controls?

    if i purchased my device with my money is it legal for someone else to put on the parental controls?

    That is an interesting question.  If you are at the "age of majority", then why would you allow someone else to put restrictions on your device..  If it is a condition of your employer to use the device on their network services, then you allow it to use the device for their system.  If you are under the age of majority, and your parents are requiring it, sounds like the parents care.

  • How do I turn all parental controls off PERMANANTLY?! urgent PLEASE help

    I was playing around on the computer when i stumbled upon "parental controls." I clicked on the control for iChat, and it acted like a parental control. but when i unclicked the control because i wanted to go back to iChat, all my buddies were back, but NONE of them were online, which is impossible because not even the robots were online, or some of my friends who are always on at this time. How do I fix it to get my buddies back?! *PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE HELP!!!!!!!!*

    Hi,
    Only an Admin Account can turns Off Parental Controls.
    Go to System Preferences > Parental Controls.
    Set the controls Back to the basic defaults and then set Parental Controls to be Deselected.
    Then go to System Preferences > Accounts and then click the Padlock if required.
    Enter the Admin Password.
    Now click on the User Account that you are Logged on to the computer with. (Or the one that had Parental Controls set).
    Make sure Parental Controls is Off here as well.
    This should make the Buddy list respond properly.
    NOTES
    IF you have a Test Mac User Account and use the Same Screen Name in iChat in both User Accounts the Test account Parental Controls will flag your Account/Screen Name at AIM and will be effected in the normal User Account buddy List.
    In iChat 3 and 4 Parental Control for iChat disable Bonjour Chatting and Jabber/GoogleTalk Buddy Lists
