I am struggling with lack of options helping me keep control on my kids.

As for 1st of Jan i would like to see some functions allowing better use of this router for home use:

  1. Option for allowing add time when rules do apply. I can control which applications are disallowed for specific clients (or "any"→ all network access) but i cannot set time.
    Example: Need to ban teenager from using any network activity during night, but allow only during day.
    Example 2: Need to allow access for minecraft application only between 16:00 and 18:00
  2. Above but with possibility of setting schedules too (days of week)
  3. Above with setting time limit of using specific application
    Example: limit use of youtube for all devices in group (clients) to 1 hour a day
    Example 2: limit use of youtube 1hr a day monday to friday but saturday and sunday with limit of 6hr
  4. Ability to detect and flag client using vpn
    Example: Child is using VPN for avoiding blockade. If it does so - it will generate lot of traffic thru one port to one recipent which will be suspicious
  5. SSL Inspection allowing monitor search engines queries and looking for dangerous or unwanted ones
  6. Triggers and messaging
    Allow to monitor specific client for use of specific application, website or exceeding time of use and message me when it will happen.
    Example: child have no blockades set but enabled "monitoring" or "watchdog", enters porn site or attempts to enter blocked site. Message me with email about that
    Example 2: I have set time limit for client. MSG me when it is reached
    Example 3: SSL inspection detects searches of sensitive information for instance looks for google searches of looking for porn, looking ways to hurt sbd or self, drugs etc. Send a warning email on that trigger.

    Hi @MiG

    • For the time limit, you can set WiFi schedule first. We currently not support this function, but our product team will monitor this requirement.
    • For the VPN part, the application management is support for well-known VPN software. image.png
    • For the point 5 and 6, since the product positioning, we currently do not have the plan that USG Lite 60AX support these functions. In addition, to ensure to not search dangerous or unwanted ones, we will evaluate to support safe search for USG Lite 60AX.
