User Based DNS Filtering. Can it be done? Could it be done?
I'm thinking of two different scenarios:
1. Similar to a public hotspot when a user launches a browser session they are prompted to login (like on a terms of service page). That login is used by Asuswrt-Merlin to recreate the DNS Filtering rule for the device that is being used such that filtering is enabled/disabled based on the user's ID.
2. An SSO app that runs in Windows and forwards the user ID captured by Windows to the router where it is used to determine whether or not DNS Filtering should be enabled and, if DNS Filtering should be enabled, which service should be assigned to the filter.
In our home, by default, OpenDNS is used to protect all connections to the Internet. We have young kids so there are a significant number of options selected under Content (Filtering). Device based exceptions are made for my phone, my wife's phone, my work computer, etc. However the remaining devices are shared by all members of the family. The above idea allows content filtering to be on for the kids and unadulterated access to the Internet for my wife and I on the same device.
Is it possible? Is it worth doing? Where do I sign up to be a tester?
Thanks,
MJ
