Anyone using one of these? Seems to be a slick way to limit each kids screen time, or pause it all together.

Ya, I dont love the big brother aspect of it, but it would be nice to have a say so in what they are doing even when we arent home.

I did just discover that our router has time based parental controls, so I have set that up so we can limit screentime but the content filtering would be nice too. I really wish there was a better way to filter youtube.

I remember years ago trying to set limits when the kids could access the Internet by setting times.

It took the kids two minutes to figure out to change the clock time on the PC and they were back in business.

Heh. I tell my kids exactly how I block them when I block them. If they can figure out how to get around it, well then they've proven they've learned something and earned it in my book

The boys discovered that the internet no longer worked tonight after 10... Man they were pissed!

Come back to school time that will get rolled back even further...
