OPNsense & user quotas: advanced parental controls & switching from Untangle

[jphilebiz]

Hi everybody,

Untangle user here, and weighing my options.  This is for a home setup, where I have a teenager to manage and she can bypass the "MyCircle" device on network.  Smart kids bring in interesting challenges.  Don't know how she does it (need to look that up) but need to lock everything down solid.  MyCircle was good due to my wife's requirement to manage this, but now that has changed (she said do what you must, a bit like Yoda).

Been on Untangle for years but to do schedules/bandwidth quotas per day I need to move from the community edition to their Home plans 150$/year plus plan due to the # of IP addresses on lan aka smart home stuff https://www.untangle.com/solutions/untangle-at-home/), the price is a tad steep imho for what I need to do. and been itching for a reason to try OPNsense really.

So I need to control/block a user on LAN based on schedules and the amount of time per day allowed (you get 4 hours online per day, yada, yada).  Can this be achieved with OPNsense?  If yes, suggestions?

Unit running Untangle RN is a i7-2700 w/8Gb ram & bunch of NICs so should be able to handle whatever I turn on in OPNsense, I think, and would prefer not throw money on this box due to age. WiFi is Unifi.

Thanks!!!
