How to add a website permission or exception
I use the Cox WiFi app using my phone but use my desktop computers to surf the internet. Using the app I have Parental Controls on but I have to keep turning it off to go to a specific website and hope I remember to turn it back on after I am finished. Is there a way to add this website where wifi will allow it to open without turning off parental controls everytime? The website if for my prescriptions where my doctor sends them to be filled so it has to word "drugs" in the website url.
How to have parental control ON by default for unassigned devices?
Just received the Technicolor CGM4141 Panoramic Wifi Gateway from Cox this week and happy to see all the customization available per device. We're a friendly home and often have guests over to hang out and occasionally stay overnight. Can the wifi network be setup by default to have parental control ON, so we don't have to assign every single device to the Guest profile, in order to get Parental Control? If this is not possible, yet, who should I contact to add it to the development road map? This would seem to be a pretty common use case that a lot of customers would appreciate.
Control over the parental controls (whitelist & blacklist)
I turned on the parental controls and it blocked almost EVERYTHING. My kids online school, Minecraft, even Wikipedia! I had to immediately turn it off because I could not find a way to whitelist the websites, just an On/Off toggle. I can’t even access the firewall settings; it’s either “Advanced Protection” or nothing. Every other parental control software I have ever used has a whitelist and most have blacklist editing capabilities. Many even have age group selection. Is there any way to whitelist web addresses, ports, or applications? Are there age group settings? Is it just an “All or Nothing” system?
Contour 2 Parental Control of ALL Apps
Currently only some apps can be managed in parental controls (https://www.cox.com/residential/support/managing-parental-controls-for-the-contour-2-tv-receiver-apps.html). I want to lock (or remove) the horoscope app. Please add it (and ALL apps) to the list for parental controls.
