How VM can fix web safe for router mode

I get people want this not that VM really want to add this to their service but the current solution never seems to work on or off when people want it on or off.

So I have a solution one that is simple and 100% works for your router mode as for modem mode well people are smart enough to do their own and get that working.

Its so simple VM will be kicking themselves as to why they didn't think of doing it in the first place.

So OK you have router mode with DNS 194.168.4.100 and 194.168.8.100 and router mode uses that and is unsafe or normal (or will be when you roll the firmware out for what I'm about to say) then you add a option for router mode for web safe to use other DNS for your devices by DHCP that is web safe like 194.168.4.101 and 194.168.8.101

Simple right?

    But that would involve money. 

    I'd rather just use my own networking kit, thanks   ðŸ˜‰

    Just use Cloudflare DNS servers. 1.1.1.2 / 1.0.0.2 for Websafe equivalent and 1.1.1.3 / 1.0.0.3 for Websafe & Childsafe equivalent.

    There used to be parental control settings in the hub settings but they never "took" for long.

    Yeah I found I had dns interception and refusal to use encrypted dns despite it all being off. Turned out it was in fact still on, switching it on, and off, again - fixed it.
