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


Kid names and weekly schedule are added under "/'''ip kid-control'''". For each day of week (mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat,sun) time of day is selected, when internet access should be allowed.
==Kid Control==
Sometimes kids need internet to make homework. But, they will watch videos instead of learning if unlimited internet access is allowed. In this case rate-limiting internet speed could be the solution. It can be done with "rate-limit" and "time-rate-limited" attributes.

Kid could have multiple internet connected devices (phone, tablet, gaming console, tv etc.). All of them should be assigned to the kid under "/ip kid-control device". Device is identified by MAC address that is retrieved from the ARP table. The appropriate IP address is taken from there. It is possible to assign whole subnet to kids devices using netmask.

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

Kid Control

Sub-menu: /ip kid-control


This menu contains information about configurable parameters.


Property Description

copy-from (string) Allow to copy parameters from other Kids profile
disabled (yes | no) Allow to disable parental controls
rate-limit (string) Traffic limitation with simple queue
time-rate-limited (string) Traffic limited specified time

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. It is possible to assign whole subnet to kids devices using netmask.


Property Description
mac-address (string) Devices mac-address
user (string) To which user add device

Examples

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip kid-control add name=kid1 sun=20:00:00-22:00:00 mon=16:00:00-21:00:00
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip kid-control device add name=Limit1 user=kid1 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 ;;; Limit1, kid-control
      chain=forward action=reject src-address=192.168.88.254 

2  D ;;; Limit1, kid-control
      chain=forward action=reject dst-address=192.168.88.254
