I use Zenarmor with an OPNsense firewall it is an absolute delight to use full control of almost everything being a network layer 7 (L7) application firewall with full logging and control of everything in and going out of our premises internet-wise. The cost is about £300 for the hardware and $10 per month for cloud intelligence, and you need the expertise to set it up. 😀

My links were removed before but the router I'm going for is a synology one. Google it and see what you think of the UI and the device profiles.

Yes sorry and I might be wrong but I don't think anyone on this forum would pay £300 extra for a service that used to be free and still is with BT, EE, Virgin etc. Come on Sky, sort your act out and help us protect our kids.

Those systems are very basic, eg: the screenshot of Zenarmor with total drill down is a delight to use:-

BT broadband have a similar app called MY BT, it's a bit ditterent to Sky buddy but it essentially does the same thing.
