Internet router parental controls not working
4.5
Time limits and website filters are not being enforced.
Symptoms
- Blocked sites are accessible
- Internet works past bedtime
- Profiles not syncing
Possible Causes
- DNS over HTTPS (DoH) active
- Incorrect router time
- VPN usage on device
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check Router Time
Ensure the router's system clock is synced with an NTP server.
2
Disable DoH
Encrypted DNS in browsers can bypass router-level filters.
3
Block VPNs
Parental controls won't work if the device is using a VPN.
When to See a Technician
Parental controls at the router level are easily bypassed by tech-savvy kids. Use on-device apps for better control.
