Best practice web filtering

Hi, 

You can configure a separate SSID for children say, Child. Define it on a separate interface. PFA screenshot:

Go to interface & routing > Interface> New interface, create a new Ethernet interface and select wlan0 as the hardware definition.

Remember to configure a DHCP on this interface. Now, you have an SSID on a separate zone with a defined network address. Add wlan0 (network) in the allowed network box of Web Protection global setting. Finally, create a filter profile for child network to filter the web traffic as per the requirement.

Thanks

Hi Sachingurung,

Thanks for the instruction!

WLAN0 is already used for my guest network and cannot be used for this purpose due to that fact.

Hi,

In that case, bind the IP address with the MAC address of devices used by the children and create a separate filter profile.

Thanks

Hi aigain,

That's what i have been doing and wanted to change so that children connect to a range that would be subjected to specific filtering rules.

Now i have to create a host for every device to be added to the correct filtering profile.

Thanks anyway 

If you already have an SSID defined where WebAdmin associated wlan0 to the virtual NIC, it will create  wlan1 when you define a new SSID.  Just make that change in Sachin's prescription above and you'll be set for your children and their friends.
