Jan 24, 2017 - Earlier I stumbled across a hidden set of features and settings in a. Entries with unicast addresses; Limit ARPS of non-responsive IPs. Ignore ARPs with primary-gateway's MAC received on other interfaces; [Send System ARPs]. Do not apply WiFi security enforcement on reply traffic from WLAN to.

@stevan.massa No, being right is what makes people right. The original poster was complaining about not being able specific MAC addresses, a function that entirely has to do with the router, not with Live Parental Controls or OpenDNS in any form. Without researching the capabilities of the actual router he assume that LPC included MAC filtering. MAC filtering is not the same as parental controls and is nearly useless as a security or filtering tool since it is a trivial task to spoof MAC addresses. Before accusing companies of not providing what is advertised it is usually best to confirm what is ACTUALLY being advertised and what is not. OpenDNS via LPC is providing functionality on these routers. Any other desired features are entirely up to Netgear, and whining about something not being present on this forum is pointless since this is an OpenDNS, not a Netgear forum.

@mattwilson9090 Are you associated with OpenDNS? You are a pretty poor representative if you are, but your defensiveness implies it.

The original post references MAC addresses because that is a typical way parental controls can be placed on specific devices connected to your home router. My previous routers have been Motorola and they utilize that method of differentiation. You simply went in and applied whatever parental control you wanted to whatever MAC addresses you wanted without affecting any other device on the router. It is simple to prevent unauthorized MAC addresses from connecting to the router to prevent spoofing. I am not familiar with the Linksys they are referencing but am assuming from the comment that it works similarly. If you read the post past MAC address to understand the actual intent of the question, they are asking how to apply specific restrictions to a specific device or user.

Their expectation from past experience is that it would be accomplished by utilization of the MAC address. The user manual from Netgear specifically states that once parental controls are set up you open the Management Utility (powered by OpenDNS) and you can: 'check whether Live Parental Controls are enabled; disable or enable Live Parental Controls; modify basic settings; change settings such as per-user and time-of-day based Live Parental Controls.  Kodi 17.6 download for android. The last one is exactly what they are asking how to do.

As advertised. Can you do that? Near as I can tell, OpenDNS does not support the last claim. The only way I see to do it is by exception or setting up 'pass-through' accounts which is incredibly cumbersome and inconvenient in comparison to simply controlling only the devices you wish to. It is also not compatible with many smart devices such as TVs, DVRs, Gaming Systems, etc. That you may not wish to be subject to the controls you want to set up for your 8 year old. Some of those systems could maybe handle it, but not without additional setup on the devices themselves which may be beyond the capability of the novice and is certainly (again) more cumbersome and less convenient than applying controls only to the devices you wish to control.

Best will maker software for mac. Can OpenDNS change settings on a per-user and time-of-day basis? If they can then answer the question and explain how (along with the limitations). If it can't, then state so.

That may not be an OpenDNS issue if Netgear is claiming something that is not supported or if their wording implied more utility than actually available, but it is pretty binary as I stated earlier. OpenDNS can fulfill the claim or it cannot. If it cannot, or if the stated functionality was misleading, then we can take it up with Netgear, but this is the forum you get when you click support on the parental controls so you are the first stop whether you like it or not. Please clarify your affiliation with OpenDNS in your response. Preferably in a more professional manner than your previous comments. Being a condescending jackass does not help Netgear or OpenDNS. Oh good grief, my original question was quite simple really, I want to block Junior from accessing the internet between mid-night and 6:00 am.
