    Internet Blocked by Default

    I don't want to hijack this thread so that it becomes a Tomato how-to guide. This is an asuswrt-merlin thread after all. Let's just say that asuswrt or asuswrt-merlin can only block access to a certain amount (I believe it's 8 or 12 entries) of known MAC addresses. Since my kid has a program...

    Internet Blocked by Default

    The kid is knowledgeable, but not that much! He's got a Chrome plugin that does it all for him. He's got no idea what a MAC address is. :) I wish I new what that plugin was! From what I could find out, it's something that works with TamperMonkey. Funny thing is, although this plugin makes up a...

    Some facts I forgot to mention: 1) That's his own computer (desktop). So he's got administrator rights. 2) He's not on Wi-Fi. He's wired. 3) I can't turn off the router at night. I got my Ooma phone hooked up to it. The router is out of reach but he's resourceful to say the least. :rolleyes...

    Internet Blocked by Default

    Hi Merlin, I have to control the time my teenage kid spends on the Internet otherwise he busts my quota limit every month (I don't have unlimited nor wish to have it). At first the Parental Controls worked fine but now he uses some sort of MAC Address spoofing software or plug-in with Chrome...
