Site Filtering and other access control on the router

[DoubleP]

The HUB 4000 has some advanced configuration, but is there a way to get more advance feature, like web site filtering or time-based access control? 

Bell directed me to the McAfee parental control to manage access control... but c'mon... what an dated, archaic, way to innefectively attempt to limit youtube consumtion for kids who have multiple, modern devices... 

Access control should be easily managed directly at the modem. 

Any thoughts?

I know, but the modem does not provide that functionality so this is the next best option.

Back in September I wrote that access control disappeared from Bell modems after the HH 1000. Please scroll down this page to see the posts.

It's unfortunate that this granularity of configuration is not available. I suspect this ship has sailed and won't be back.

Is there a way to remove free online pornography? I know it's there & I find it insulting & demeaning.

Thank you for your question. I am not sure what you are specifically referring to. If your browser is popping up with online pornography, you will need to increase your online and browser security. Your browser may have been compromised. You can find a lot of tips on safe browsing from Bell here.  If you are referring to email, the only thing you can really do is to mark such emails as junk and delete them.

Good Day & Welcome.

There is no method perse to block or set up web-site filtering with your Bell Home Hub or Giga Hub modem. It is not designed to perform this function.

Do you have an antivirus software program installed?

There are a number of alternative products available that you can setup to restrict & protect yourself and family from inappropriate web content. I have included just a few examples below of some of these products that are available.

McAfee Parental controls in McAfee from Bell:

•  Parental Controls in McAfee Security from Bell

Microsoft Family Safety:

• Filter websites and searches using Microsoft Family Safety

Google SafeSearch:

• Google  SafeSearch - Computer - Google Search Help

Apple  - iPhone / iPad

• Use parental controls to manage your child's iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Samsung / Android

• Google Family Link - Apps on Google Play

Take care.

Thanks. I'll just go with Google SafeSearch.
