@Layla1 Sky have a new offering sold as Wifi Max at £7.50 a month which doesxallow you to set screen time at a device level see https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-wifi-max.

 

The standard Sky hubs do not offer the same flexibility.

@Chrisee , there is also an option to set things up in standard router however

- it only works when the access is over http (not TLS as urls would be encrypted I guess). 

- you can whitelist only one IP (and for a device which uses IPv4 and IPv6 you cannot add both)

 

So, on my smartTV blocking netflix works with this but not youtube...

 

Do you happen to know if the same limitations exist with the new router/service?

Device controls on the Max Hub are much more sophisticated:

Re: Screen time for kids devices

I have seent this but no mention about its capability around blocking websites etc.

As an example, can OpenDNS be used for different devices?

How would it block URLs? Is is service / application level (e.g. can I just say block 'youtube' or 'netflix' etc)?
