web site time limiter?

[ivrytwr3]

Hey hey,

Away with the forces (again!) and little lad is been a bugger with the amount of time he is spending on pc (playing roblox)

Is there a prog or something that can limit time on a particular website?

Vista, Internet Explorer user

Thanks!

Do a search on norton family safety mate, it's free and does exactly that.

Also if you are with BT you can download mcafee family protection for free

If he accesses the Internet via a router, you can put time restrictions on his connection at IP address level, then password the router so he can't access it to change the settings.

windows family safety has built in time limits and curfews which i've set for my kid and only allows him access to his own account 3 times a week for 1 hour. at the end of that hour it logs him off

thought Detector wrote some software similar to this?

This is exactly what I am planning to do to cut my daughter off at 9pm. Some router do it at IP level but mine is for the MAC Address, but remember if it is IP address he'll need a static one.

Yep go the router option. Statically assign an IP to the Mac addresses (Wired and WIFI) and then put the restrictions in place. Just make sure you change the default password..
You should even be able to go as far as only restricting that site if required so he thinks the site is down and not you doing it!
