For everything else like router hardware, other router features, firmware or the Genie software this here is not the right place. This was correct, because the Netgear Live Parental Controls forum section here is solely about what it says: Live Parental Controls (powered by OpenDNS). because I was directed to here when I clicked the Parental Control feature in the router setting window." " And I thought this forum was Netgear community" Also, VPN services are not necessarily in scope for parental controls there are even VPN services with parental controls built in, like Hotspot Shield which blocks a lot of stuff, as I already said. VPN connections are not necessarily DNS related and do not necessarily make use of DNS, i.e. OpenDNS is a recursive DNS service, and it can block everything which is DNS related. This is all correct, this Live Parental Controls (powered by OpenDNS) is very good, given that you understand its working principle and related limitations. It seems Netgear just uses OpenDNS for their Parental Control." " I bought the Netgear product because the seller said it has a good parental control feature. So you must take measures almost specific for a certain VPN service only. Your user manual should document these.Īnd there is nothing in the world which could "ultimately prohibit VPN connections" except if you run an internal proxy server or a sophisticated firewall, because every VPN service may use different technology. They are pure Netgear router features if they are provided at all. Netgear supplies so many models.īut these features are not related to "Live Parental Controls" anyway. You still didn't say what exact router model you have. Sure, you can configure the restrictions (ports and domains just for Hotspot Shield) also on the Windows firewall, but I rather thought configuring them on the router. " Is there something useful in Windows firewall that can ultimately prohibit VPN connections?"
