General Discussion / Re: Parental control nad AD blocking, will it ever happen ?

you probably want to use a user based acl which the proxy is capable to handle. I am just not sure if that works via the GUI.

Yeah, good luck with that on Android. I can enter a proxy and a port, but that's as far as it goes. No user/pass there. But that would be the wrong approach anyway. The norm is transparent proxy with MAC based restrictions.

I'm using a simple add blocker as described here. I edited the list slightly as my wife finds the google add links are sometimes useful, especially when shopping.

How is this linked to a specific MAC?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this will restrict access for all devices. This is definitely not parental control. Parental control means implementing access restrictions based on MAC address and, ideally, different rules for each MAC. I have two kids, 7 yro and 14 yro. I definitely can't apply the same restrictions to both. And I don't want any restrictions for me and my wife. And that's only part one of parental control is. The second part is internet budget.
