Web filtering based on categories for a single IP and schedules

[mallen462]

Hi, I would like to block gaming for specific devices. Being able to do so on a schedule is a plus.
I've seen options from Zenarmor, but they only have a paid description. Has anyone else had any success with creating a firewall rule like this?

Thank you in advance.

I suspect that the user of said device may disagree with the block? If you don't have their cooperation, you need to enforce separate access through a VLAN.

If the device is wired, set its network port to have this as its native VLAN. If it is wireless, you need a separate SSID with its own credentials. Quite a few access points support multiple SSID's and VLAN's. You can also run a separate AP.

For this VLAN change the DNS to a curated DNS provider such as OpenDNS https://www.opendns.com/home-internet-security/
