Live Parental Controls
On Networks Live Parental Controls, powered by OpenDNS, is a router-based Web filtering
solution available on On Networks Wireless-N router and gateway products. Designed to protect
you from identity theft and scams, Live Parental Controls blocks up to 50 categories of Internet
content.
Live Parental Controls protects all Internet-connected devices through the router. It protects not
only computers, but also set-top boxes, iPhones, iPods, and gaming consoles that are attached to
your network. Default and per-user settings allow you to customize configurations for different
computing arrangements and personalize the settings for each person. Per-time settings allow
Internet access during scheduled time slots.
Live Parental Controls requires a one-time installation of the management utility. Once set up,
Live Parental Controls runs in the background and does not interfere with normal Internet usage.

Understanding Your Firewall
Your N300 WiFi Router (N300R) contains a true firewall to protect your network from attacks and
intrusions. A firewall is a device that protects one network from another while allowing
communication between the two. Using a process called Stateful Packet Inspection, the firewall
analyzes all inbound and outbound traffic to determine whether or not it will be allowed to pass
through.
By default, the firewall allows any outbound traffic and prohibits any inbound traffic except for
responses to your outbound traffic. However, you can modify the firewall’s rules to achieve the
following behavior:
• Blocking sites . Block access from your network to certain Web locations based on Web
addresses and Web address keywords. This feature is described in “Blocking Access to
Internet Sites” on page 3-1 .
• Blocking services . Block the use of certain Internet services by specific computers on your
network. This feature is described in “Blocking Access to Internet Services” on page 3-3 .
• Scheduled blocking . Block sites and services according to a daily schedule. This feature is
described in “Scheduling Blocking” on page 3-5 .
