"Kid control" is a parental control feature to limit internet connectivity for LAN devices.

In this menu it is possible to create a profile for each Kid and restrict internet accessibility.

| tur-mon,tur-tue,tur-wed,tur-thu,tur-fri,tur-sat,tur-sun (time) | Time unlimited rate. Time of day is selected, when internet access should be unlimited |
Time unlimited rate parameters have higher priority than rate-limit parameter.
Devices
Sub-menu: /ip kid-control device
This sub-menu contains information if there is multiple connected devices to internet (phone, tablet, gaming console, tv etc.). Device is identified by MAC address that is retrieved from the ARP table. The appropriate IP address is taken from there.
| Property | Description |

Example
With following example we will restrict access for Peters mobile phone:
- Disabled internet access on Monday,Wednesday and Friday
- Allowed unlimited internet access on:
- Tuesday
- Thursday from 11:00-22:00
- Sunday 15:00-22:00
- Limited bandwidth to 3Mbps for Peters mobile phone on Saturday from 18:30-21:00
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip kid-control add name=Peter mon="" tur-tue="00:00-24h" wed="" tur-thu="11:00-22:00" fri="" sat="18:30-22:00" tur-sun="15h-21h" rate-limit=3M [admin@MikroTik] > /ip kid-control device add name=Mobile-phone user=Peter mac-address=FF:FF:FF:ED:83:63
Internet access limitation is implemented by adding dynamic firewall filter rules or simple queue rules. Here are example firewall filter rules:
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip firewall filter print
1 D ;;; Mobile-phone, kid-control
chain=forward action=reject src-address=192.168.88.254
2 D ;;; Mobile-phone, kid-control
chain=forward action=reject dst-address=192.168.88.254
Dynamically created simple queue:
[admin@MikroTik] > /queue simple print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
1 D ;;; Mobile-phone, kid-control
name="queue1" target=192.168.88.254/32 parent=none packet-marks="" priority=8/8 queue=default-small/default-small limit-at=3M/3M max-limit=3M/3M burst-limit=0/0
burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0s bucket-size=0.1/0.1
It is possible to monitor how much data use specific device:
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip kid-control device print stats Flags: X - disabled, D - dynamic, B - blocked, L - limited, I - inactive # NAME IDLE-TIME RATE-DOWN RATE-UP BYTES-DOWN BYTES-UP 1 BI Mobile-phone 30s 0bps 0bps 3438.1KiB 8.9KiB
It is also possible to pause all restrictions and then resume them whenever you want it:
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip kid-control pause Peter [admin@MikroTik] > /ip kid-control print Flags: X - disabled, P - paused, B - blocked, L - rate-limited # NAME SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 0 PB Peter 15h-21h 11h-22h 18:30h-22h
