Guest network and parental safety

TED209
On our wavelength

Hi

I want to have my main WiFi network with parental filtering and my guest network totally open. This is so my kids don’t watch YouTube all the time, but I can let them on the guest network with “that day’s password” which may or may not involve a brainteaser. 

Will this work or does the parental/website filtering apply to both? Is there any way to manage it via DNS or something?

thanks

'Parental control' is based on account, not SSID / network, so what you are asking for is not possible with VM's HUBs.

To be honest it's a waste of time anyway since changing DNS at a device level circumvents it.
