GL-MT6000 Flint2 Parental Control (local) broken after firmware upgrade to 4.9

I have discovered a very strange bug after upgrading my GL-MT6000 Flint2 firmware to 4.9.

First, before the upgrade I got a notice that my Parental Control settings cannot be migrated. Not great, and hardly understandable (new parental control can easily be mapped 1:1), but ok. Upgrade went fine, and I have recreated rules for limiting online time on 1 pc and 1 phone in the LAN, from scratch - just "Bedtime", no filtering ("No content filtering" in the GUI).

But soon after that, my two sons had independently noticed that League of Legends is not working properly, they could not join the game. After several experiments with DNS that was our first suspect I turned off new Parental Control and the game started working.

And now the best part: one of the affected computers is listed in Parental Control (although there still should not be any game or other content filter applied!), but the other is not. So it seems that just enabling Parental Control blocks some of the traffic on the whole LAN.

Please let me know if there is any better solution than to downgrade the firmware to 4.8.4 and restore the config from save and wait for next, hopefully fixed version.

Hi

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Could you please help us check the following?

  1. When the issue occurs, SSH into the router and run the following commands to check the status of Parental Controls, then share the results with us:

    cat /proc/parental-control/group
cat /proc/parental-control/rule

  2. Could you also please follow the guide and share your device with us via GoodCloud so that we can investigate it remotely?

    Kindly send us the router's MAC address and password via private message so that we can access the device.
