Parental Control - Whitelisting

[tmlbiz]

Hi there,

I’m reaching out to clarify whether the parental control feature in the 4.7+ firmware supports whitelisting (or if there are any plans to implement it), or if it is limited to blacklisting only.

If whitelisting is not currently available, I believe it would be a valuable enhancement. Adding this capability could not only improve the usability of parental controls but also serve small and micro enterprises that often require a straightforward method to whitelist specific domains and applications (for example API endpoints in our case).

Hello,

There is no whitelist in the function definition of parental control, and there is currently no plan to support whitelist, since in the definition of this function, parents are required to control their children's devices and not allow to access the specified domain name list.

This is like a functional requirement of commercial and enterprise routers, which can achieve access permissions through firewalls (Luci -> Network -> Firewall -> Traffic Rules).
