parental controls

4 Topics

Anyone switched to a router/modem with better parental controls?
I'd quite like to set up schedules and more granular content filtering at the network level as a parental control. I know VM has the Connect app that lets you manually pause, but I'd like something a bit more scheduled. Plus, the ability to block and whitelist specific URLs and other content blocking etc. So I guess getting a different router and using that with the VM Hub in modem mode might work. But which one has the best parental controls? Anyone switched to one? TP-Link, Asus, etc?

Blocked website parental controls
We have a stead fast no YouTube rule in our house and prior to being with virgin we had no problem blocking it via our provider because kids will be kids! I’ve blocked it via the connect app but they can still access it via the tv (I’ve used individual device settings to block phones/tablets) how can I get it to work?

WebSafe Parental Controls not working
Hi there - like a few other people are reporting my Websafe "Parental Controls" don't appear to be working. They are switched on in the My Virgin Media Online Security page, but websites are not being blocked that should be. I have checked my DNS is correct, and switched off and back on the Parental Controls, and rebooted the router, but the problem still exists. Please advise how this can be resolved. Thanks

Joined virgin fibre two days ago
I have just joined virgin fibre and cannot find anything on the app regarding parental controls or any control over what my children see. I have two options when I go to my account, one is account details and the other is to add a fingerprint. There is no option for any parental controls or online settings it is completely missing. How do I access something that does not exist?
