Parental Control on the R1

[TentedPhoenix]

Hi there,

 

I have the Netduma installed and working as it should but, I am just wondering about the security settings and where I can find them to limit what can be accessed through the internet as I have a young son and don't want any adult content coming through ads and the like. I have a virgin hub which is on modem mode so can't change the settings there?

 

Any help would be much appreciated

Iain and the team are working on family settings for the Netduma I am not sure about blocking of adult sites though.

 

Open dns have a service where they block sites.

 

You would change your DNS to theirs and set up the security.

Microsoft have a filter.

There are a few on a google search also.

If you use chrome or firefox adblock plus addon is great for blocking ad's , test it with the duma as some have reported the netdumas gui to not respond properly , but i have no problems using firefox with it.
