Hi, is it possible to prevent an unruly teenager from playing certain games and watching You Tube when they should be doing their homework? Unfortunately most homework involves internet research so a blanket ban courses more problems. I wanted to know if I could set up a schedule everyday where these things were blocked... Any ideas how to do this appreciated. I have a Vigor2860ac.

Thanks

Hi Neil - what a great question !
I believe it should be possible using URL Content FIltering - I would suggest having a look at the following link:
http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/guides/kb-dnsfilter-url
which also has a further link on to the scheduling side of things.
You'll have to create an account (free) to get the content, but well worth it :)
Very best of luck with this one, I suspect it won't be easy - I would guess YouTube should be an easy one to catch/filter, but I think blocking one game will just lead to another, so you might be playing catch-up for a while.
Hopefully someone else here can provide some more details - I imagine this is a not uncommon requirement (yes - been there, fortunately MANY years ago now :lol: )
Good luck
Simon
