Best approach for Authentication and Surfing Quotas?

I am struggling to come up with an effective approach for limiting and protecting my kid on my home XG install and looking for ideas/advice.

Scenario:

Would like to apply Surfing Quotas and Web filtering rules to kid devices only. All others will be unrestricted. His devices are all "known" and setup with DHCP reservations and client-less mappings.

Ideally I would apply Quota and Web Filtering rules by device, but my understanding is that Quotas can only be applied to users. Therefore, it seems the captive portal would be the only option given he has a Chromebook and other devices that do not support the agent. What would be the best way to setup the captive portal to only apply to his devices and leave all other "unknown" users/devices without restrictions?

Thanks in advance.

  • Both are possible. I have experimented with this myself. However, you will need to do some preparation work first.

    For each device, you will need to manually assigned an IP address, or use 'Bind IP to MAC' on your wireless device or whatever assigns IP addresses. so you can


    System, Hosts and Services - add each device to the list

    After that

    You add Firewall rules (Protect, Firewall and within there, you can set surfing quota (you can add your own quota in System, Progiles) and also Web Filters (as well as application and IPS


    Hope this helps

  • Hi Paul,

    Can you be more specific to help me understand where the settings are where you setup the quota identified in your comments above, specifically:  

    "You add Firewall rules (Protect, Firewall and within there, ..."

     

    Thanks
