Review on Blocksi Parental Control Router: 2-Year Subscription with Enhanced Screen Time Control, Advanced Web and YouTube Filtering, and Secure Search by Melota Phillips

Update 6/10/19: Children can completely ignore the device when they put the device to sleep and it still allows access when they reconnect it to the network associate. at inappropriate times. We use this for several school centers and the device becomes useless once the kids figure out how to bypass it. I have notified the developer who is not responding as before. Change from 5 stars to 1 star until this major issue is resolved. for my own testing and could therefore be used in multiple locations to protect and access students. The interface was out of the box and easy to set up, unfortunately the device kept losing the ability to restrict access to websites and/or limit the time. I worked with their support team who responded very quickly and created new firmware to fix the issue. The device now works like a charm with no issues. As planned by us, it can be used for several locations. MISSING FEATURES: I sent this to the helpdesk who told me they are working on it and it's great: 1. By far the biggest missing feature is the isolation of the access point (or IP host) to the underlying network, but the Helpdesk has taken precautions Add it to your device now! I can't thank them enough. MISSING FEATURE UPDATE: The following features also need to be added to the WAN, which are missing and required when using this router as an edge device. I have also sent them to the support team for review1. Ability to set static IP vs. DHCP (that's a big deal, just noticed) 2. DDNS client support, especially when there's no way to set a static IP or someone can't get a static IP for remote access in3 . Block ICMP echo for security reasons.4. Possibility to install DMZ5. QoS is especially important when other VoIP services are running on the SoHo network6. Improved firewall control and packet inspection7. Dual WAN (for failover)
