Configuring Parental Control Settings
The settings described in this section enable you to tailor the type of content you want to allow your router to access. You create a policy that defines content access. Each policy can be associated with all the PCs the router supports. For example, a “Kids Policy” could be defined and assigned to all PCs that a child can access.
Also, a single policy can encompass multiple time schedules and multiple periods that can be assigned to any given PC. For example, a PC might be associated with a “Weekday Kids Policy” and a “Weeknight Parent” policy.
Each policy uses a content filter keyword list, meaning any sites with content containing these keywords are blocked. Each policy can also use a URL list that contains URLs that are specifically denied or allowed.
In this way, it is possible to explicitly block access to certain sites or to create a “walled garden” in which access is only granted to a select group of websites.
