Ask HN: How do you control home WiFi traffic?

1 pointdanielovichdk2 comments

I am concerned about my kids' usage patterns around gaming, and wish to tap into the WiFi connection between their computers and the main router.

Then i would like to control which sites and services they use, without having to adminster their computers.

Any tips?

Talk to them. It's not a technical problem. Doing something untrustworthy makes the relationship untrustworthy. It's unlikely you will like everything your kids do. Figuring out ways of talking through those things is better in the long run. Good luck.

You can always deploy/update (remotely via Ansible or something else) custom hosts file on their workstations. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
