The logical route for today’s concerned, yet lazy, parents, is to shell out hundreds of bucks for some off-the-shelf piece of software that they can install on their kid’s computer. The problem is that a quick Google search reveals a dozen workarounds for even the most expensive parental censoring spy tools. Making matters worse, by installing the software on their machine, you’re immediately tipping your hand by revealing that [A] you are watching them and [B] which tool you are using. The better way to do things is to take a page out of the government’s book and surreptitiously and warrantlessly monitor all Internet traffic that goes out of your house. This process is better because it prevents them from using a browser with an Incognito Mode or just clearing the browser history (perhaps the first thing a mischievous tot learns how to do on the computer). If only there were some gateway that stood between your house and the World Wide Web…oh wait, there is. It’s your router. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to retrieve the web traffic log from a NETGEAR WPN824v2 router and how to block individual websites for selected computers in your house—all without installing a single piece of software on your kid’s computer.
Accessing Your Router’s Settings Page
From any computer, access your router’s setup page by typing in its IP address into your browser window. For me, it’s 192.168.1.1. Try clicking that and see what happens.
If that doesn’t work, open CMD.exe and type: ipconfig /all and look for the field that reads default gateway.
A Quick Note About Your Default Password You’ll probably be prompted to enter a username and password. You probably don’t remember what this is. Try admin / password or admin / 1234 or admin / admin or root / root. You can also Google your router’s model number and “default password.” Once you’ve done that, you should change it. On the NETGEAR page, it’s Maintenance > Set Password
Viewing Your Logs
To get a feel for what we’re working with, go ahead and click Logs under “Content Filtering.”
Initially, this is going to be a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. But don’t worry, we’ll make sense of this. If you can already parse out all this info, then great. If not, read on. What you want to pay attention to in this screenshot are the IP addresses for the Source. Using this information, we’ll track who was looking at what. Here, we see that all the activity is coming from 192.168.1.6. That’s my computer. How do we know? See below.
Viewing Attached Devices
Click Attached Devices under “Maintenance” to see.
This lists all the devices that are connecting to the router. As you can see, 192.168.1.6 is JACK-WIN7, which is what I named my main computer. PHONEY-BALONEY is my iPhone. HP8D41B1, I’m assuming, is the netbook sitting open on my kitchen table. Or it could be my neighbor stealing my WiFi. At any rate, this is a useful page to remember. To illustrate, I’ll visit yahoo.com on my iPhone and see if it shows up in the logs: Now, I’m going to hazard a guess and assume that you don’t want to spend your evenings sifting through the log, matching up IP addresses to salacious websites. Luckily, you can automate it somewhat by blocking sites.
Blocking Sites
Blocking sites and services on your router restrict access to certain websites or activity on certain ports. This is a rock-solid way to police web activity because it can’t be circumvented from a computer. You have to access the router to change this. Click Block Sites under “Content Filtering.” Here, you can enforce restricted websites by entering keywords you want to be blocked. You can choose to block sites according to a schedule (Click Schedule to choose the times/days of the week to block) or you can elect to block them always.
Notice along the bottom that you can add a trusted IP address. In this case, I don’t want to block myself from these sites, just my untrustworthy kids. Remember that my IP address is 192.168.1.6, so we can punch it in here to give us full access. Note that this presents a potential workaround, as a clever user could find a way to get assigned that IP. Use at your own peril. Now, when you try to visit a blocked site, you see this:
Note that one may be able to circumvent this kind of filtering by typing in an IP address directly (for example, to get to Facebook, just type 69.63.189.11 into the browser window). To avoid this, add the known IP addresses to your block list. Tip: If you want to block all Internet access, say, after 9 PM, use the Block Services tab and choose HTTP from the drop-down. Then make sure you specify the IP address for the restricted devices.
E-mail and Alerts
Using the E-mail tab, you can have your router email you the logs on a daily/weekly/hourly basis or each time someone tries to access a blocked website. Or, you can send the logs manually from the Logs page. Either way, the email will usually show up in your Spam folder, so be sure you filter it correctly.
What I suggest doing, rather than actively blocking sites, is to set yourself up a Gmail filter that scans your logs for certain keywords and then stars them. This will save you a lot of time sifting through the logs manually and also prevents your suspects from knowing that you’re monitoring their activity.
With a filter like this, you can get a daily report of your son or daughter’s web activity, as well as a flag each time certain keywords show up. All without them knowing.
Conclusion
Using NETGEAR’s built-in security tools, you can easily monitor all network traffic going into or coming out of your home. The advantage of this is that there isn’t any software installed on your child’s computer, meaning that it’s harder for them to detect and nearly impossible for them to get around. They could use proxy sites, but that’s a pain in the butt and easily picked up on if you look at the logs. The main limitation is that you won’t be able to see any web browsing that’s done on their smartphone or tablet via a cellular data network (e.g. 4G, LTE). And I want to reiterate that properly educating your kid about safe web browsing activities is the first and most important step to keeping them in the clear on the web. A lot worse can happen to anyone on the web who doesn’t know basic web safety principles. And that goes beyond watching bootlegged episodes of South Park or a risqué CollegeHumor.com video. From viruses and phishing schemes to sexual predators and dangerous misinformation from irresponsible news journalists, there’s a lot out there that can harm your child and your family that can’t be stopped through Big Brother-style monitoring. Your energy is far better spent trying to teach your kid to be a responsible and thoughtful consumer of media. But if you are ever suspicious that your kid is involved in something way over his or her head, these tools may be able to help you catch it before something disastrous happens. Okay, enough preaching. Godspeed, you paranoid parent, and happy spying. If you would rather just connect a device to your network to use to enforce parental controls from the palm of your hand, check out the Circle Home with Disney. We should be able to help you out there — and the entire community for that matter will lend me hand in troubleshooting your issue. Thanks, -S even then, he can still use proxies and vpns unless you blocked all the ones he knows of.. if he’s even trying to defy you like this, i take it he’s a teenager.. teens are in every way adults save that very sense of stubborn defiance.. it may get in the way of them making rational choices sometimes, but they full well know the potential real world ramifications of their actions.. even if you block something, there’s a chance he’ll be able to get around it by typing “https” instead of “http”. parental controls simply cannot work. you may as well not even try. As a web developer who has ‘web security expert’ in my CV, I am inclined to agree with @mysticvortex13 I’ve recently been researching strategies to help my sister keep an eye on her children’s online activities in a discreet way. The same kids whose natural abilities with computers has astounded me since they were 3 years old, so a formidable task indeed. You could install shady software on their computer/device, but they could get it off or work around it. You could put a logger on the router, but they could use the cellular network or a different router, or no router. Actually if IP-level site blocking is your thing, it could be fun to hide a ‘secret’ router in the wall which is wired to the primary internet source, then wired to an ethernet outlet, ‘faking’ the primary internet source. You would then set up rules on that one, then make it undiscoverable. That might take a while to figure out! Oh, then cellular scrambling! Home cyber warfare! In the end, though, oppression will always be defeated… If I were a spy, say, and I discovered that someone else was spying on me. Do you think I gain more by outing that person and letting them know that I know? If so, they are either defeated, which is unlikely, or next time they use different tactics to evade your detection. If you caught them following you on foot, they may use a GPS tracker next time, as a simplistic example. I would argue you are better not letting them know you are on to them and use it to your advantage. If the kid is looking at porn, as an example, it might be best to have a conversation about what you think is a different healthier way to look at his sexuality rather than spending your days and nights trying to block all potential routes to the internet (because frankly he is probably better at tech than you). Obviously if he’s about to go meet some grown man in a basement, you should stop it (and then destroy the pedo). As far as I know, it’s not technically possible to monitor messaging in a catch-all kind of way – ie. log all incoming and outgoing messaging no matter what messaging app they’re using on phone and laptop. You can be sure modern messaging platforms are transmitting via SSL/HTTPS (it’s encrypted), only that browser/app can view it. You can’t get this data on your router, or anywhere except that service with the right login. And, there are so many messaging platforms now that there’s no point trying to keep up. If you demand passwords to their messaging accounts, there will always be another platform you don’t know about where they can chat unmonitored. The monitoring options are bleak, education and trust is the only answer. thanks, Gary Chris h For me this line shows up empty. Only Default Gateway and then blank. Would you know why this would be. I got my router (Netgear) from our internet service provider. Upon ringing their client service department, I was told that it was probably pre configured by them because seeing the log that I wanted would be totally comprimising my network security. I am trying to do everything you say step by step, as it is set out very clearly, though I have no idea what I am doing. Any light you can shed? i know this because me and my friends having been teens ourselves is still fresh in my memory. we adults take one glance at their apparent recklessness and instantly dismiss any shred of redeeming wisdom or humanity they have as non existant, when in fact, on average, we’re none the wiser than they are. actually, for that matter, they oftentimes know far more about the subject than we do. let me ask you this: do you consider YOURSELF in danger of abduction or some other harm of person on the internet? if not, why them? wisdom works in such a way that if one possesses it, knowledge and experience become slightly less relevant. knowledge is knowing a tomato is technically a fruit, wisdom is inferring that it’d probably taste terrible in a fruit salad. experience comes in more ways than just age, even if it is responsible for fueling both wisdom and knowledge. on top of all that, if we spy on them or block their sites, we not only will lose our children’s trust, we will also be inadvertently encouraging them to do these kinds of things all the more, perhaps even going so far as to actively hunt them out in real life instead of using the internet. instead, i recommend finding a way to inform them of the potential dangers of these actions, so that they can make good decisions of their own accord. granted, if you approach them directly they might not be inclined to listen but you gotta do what you gotta do.. do not listen to this article’s bs. invocation of the word “responsibility” implies there’s something good about removing the freedom of your child. there is not. it will NOT keep them any safer than if you didnt. its so terrible i even feel like quoting the bible, despite being an atheist: “woe be unto him that call evil “good”, and good “evil”, that put darkness for light, and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.” in other words, this article, like the criminal “justice” (revenge) system, and religion, pretends to be acting in the best interest of society while secretly encouraging you to strip people of human rights. what is purely of fiction cannot poison the mind. only what is factual, or at least partially thereof, can do that, for the healthy human mind inherently knows the distinction between the two. If your approach works for you, then great. But, who do you think you are telling other parents to listen to you, with your lax approach to parenting. So you “turned out alright” though you did whatever when you were a teen… Good for you! Don’t think your advice is good for any other kids. It’s the,parents who really love their kids, who are looking for ways to monitor and protect them, regardless if their kids outsmart them or not. So, grab some pine, meat and let the rest of us do our jig the best we can without your “advice!” Sure, children do need to have freedom to learn and grow however I wouldn’t be doing my job as a parent if I didn’t work hard to protect their young minds from garbage on the internet including violence, porn etc… There’s a reason I let them watch Curious George vs. Debbie does Dallas. Looking back to when I was a kid (80’s and early 90’s), yes there was a lot of trash out there however however it was very hard to access vs. just flipping on the PC and typing a simple query into Google. Now looking forward I plan to loosen my control over both their online and offline life however as it stands today, I keep a tight grip on what they are exposed to. After all, that’s my job. parents, teachers, cops, doctors, media outlets, businesspeople who like moderating their websites, i hate them all.. It is stupid to think that a child is emotionally equipped to handle what the whole internet has to offer. Most adults don’t even know how bad the internet can get. The internet can be a good thing and a bad thing. Kids are curious, some more than others. As parents, we should be aware as to what our kids are interested in learning. Web monitoring is vital, just going by what a teenage child tells you is a very bad idea. each child is different in maturity, and as they get older we can slowly educate them about the world (good and bad). Yes, we can not stop them if they really want to learn something but we can make it difficult. But at the end of the day, if they really want to get on some site, they will find a way (friends cell phone, neighbors open wi/fi . . . . .) The point I am trying to make is that the security and freedom do not have to be a black and white topic. Kids need to be exposed to the threats of the world including the internet. However, it should be done with the level of maturity of the child. A good parent does not 100% block the world from the child; a good parent exposes the world to a child in a manner that will not harm a child but make the child stronger. . how is he messed up? just because he looks for information on questionable topics? information is information. they’re not doing it for themselves, at least, that’s what they think. all we can do is show them they were wrong. that they were too paranoid. they’re not monsters nor saints. they’re human beings just like the rest of us. there really is no valid reason i can possibly imagine that people watch other people’s actions on the internet. no matter who they are. parent, police officer, child predator, con artist, businessperson, it does not matter. just lobby for websites to bear a disclaimer showing that all personal information is disclosed at the risk of the person disclosing it if you feel that strongly about this.. that way, if your kid gets themself abducted, it’s their own fault for being complete morons.. you dont have any either otherwise you’d find talking to your children about these things works to keep them safe. inform them of the danger. then, let them do as they will. that is love. dont let them run in blind, but dont be a control freak either. you’ll scare your children far worse than any crook on the streets ever could. i speak from experience. you evidently live a sheltered life. again, blocking is pointless. they’ll always find a way around it. Couple of things about router logs…
- this is VERY basic monitoring.. that fails to identify websites that use shared hosting or that do not reverse dns to the websites domain but instead the actual hosting domain which is pointless since most hosting admins honor their clients privacy
- router logs also are worthless if person uses one of the 1000s of web proxies available fast n free (proxy dot org)
- router logs expire quick so you wont always know what IP they visited unless you monitor them 24/7 this method of monitoring is a complete waste of time, thankfully I had enough sense to skim through it, rather than waste my life reading this worthless tutorial If you want to monitor people with your router, your best bet is to get a program like “dsniff”, its for advanced users only, but its certainly more effective than your router firewall. Honestly, understanding computers is not for everyone. So don’t beat yourself if you cannot setup dsniff. Just pay a professional to do it or find an alternative to spying Hi, im looking to get around the netgear live parental controls that my parents have set up. However, I would like to do it in a way that would allow me access the internet without their knowledge. They use the account frequently, but would never check the logs. I have tried to find passwords throughout their computers and came up with nothing. I also tried to put in my computers ip adress into the browser window and was propted for a username and password once again. any help would be appreciated, James Smith (If you want to post regarding anything in the nature of listen to your parents, please save your breath. I don’t need a life altering post that could forever change the way I look at life. Thanks you unaproving parents/people for backing away from your keyboard) it would only have led to another disaster, that’s what.. Remember parents, kids are always 2 steps ahead. Look up “The Silk Road” thats what you should look out for. It’s the kid that knows! if they’re smart, they wont allow anyone to see their contact information. if not,that’s what we have education for. thanks.. I even created a web app in hoping to monitor the router activities (mainly to monitor kids Internet activity) based on the router logs, but in the end to find out the log is incomplete. Is there a way to make the log more complete? Thanks -lmao I want a software solution the just watches and records All network traffic to certain devices in the home and will recreate the webpage visited, the message exchange and the photo downloaded. I think any parent would pay for such a valuable tool. Are there such tools available.? your child knows exactly what they risk getting themselves into if you’ve been a responsible parent. pedophiles arent dangerous, serial killers are. but even they arent such a big deal. consent is everything. a child knows nothing about what a police officer is until you tell them about it and yet you’d support them on their path to becoming one if they said they wanted. why are sex and death and psychopaths any different? just because of the stigma? or what? think about that long and hard. then think some more. just because you dont want that for your kid doesnt mean it’s your choice to make. you’re so worried, tell them not only that they’ll probably regret doing it but why it is, and if they still dont listen, oh well. at least they’re either not unhappy anymore or just plain have the potential to get over it if they survived the ordeal. i was nearly killed as a child on numerous occasions.i would know. what we need to pay attention to is the means by which they are being manipulated, and the motive for that manipulation. if they’re justified, fine. if they are not, like we see here, then we start to have problems. these people legitimately believe they’re keeping their children safe.. however, that belief is misguided. you cannot stop a determined child from making it past your security. and to do this to them will make them never listen to you again on any important matters in life whatsoever. give this game a try and you’ll see exactly how it goes down in real life. well, minus the fact that it takes place in a medieval-looking era and thus has no electronic devices involved. make sure your parents know you’re being suffocated and you already know the dangers of the big bad world. you know how to make responsible decisions. you fear your parents more than you fear some serial killer or rapist. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/serial-killers-rare-in-real-life-prominent-in-pop-culture/ if you don’t make that clear to them, they’ll continue to believe they’re acting to keep you safe and instead keep oppressing you by calling a professional to reverse your efforts. you wouldnt even be stupid enough to disclose your personal information anyway, right? only a determined hacker could take what you dont reveal and there’s no stopping that kind of lunatic so damned if you do, damned if you dont. this is a control freak behavior. doing it will make you fundamentally just like those people you’re worried your child will encounter. lol oh the internet also… your tendency to laugh at everyone’s fighting in such a manner suggests that you’re a teen yourself. With that said. FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT thing you should do as a parent or for yourself to protect all of you. EDUCATION about the dangers, the way these “Predators” use the internet to gain access to all things on the internet you do and don’t do. EDUCATE yourself and then EDUCATE THEM. Let them even watch ONE OR TWO TV show’s like “WEB OF LIES” to illustrate so they can visually watch what happens to kids their age when they don’t follow the rules of internet use and RESPONSIBLITY. You don’t have to MONITOR their EVERY MOVE, BUT I do believe and know from many cases I have worked that you should check in on their internet actitives every now and then, ask questions pay attention to them, their changes in behaviors and if you suspect something is NOT quiet right check into their activities. I myself check in every now and then on my son’s activities and when he was 11 years old it was a good thing I did (after his older sister came to me and expressed conerns of his chatting on his playstation 3), I found several names of people that seemed too old or things they were saying seemed not right. Call it being a police office in the sexual crimes unit if you want, but after just LITTLE checking, I did in fact find this one person that had my concern the most. Although his profile picture and information showed him as 14 year old the tructh was far from that. He was 38 year old man and the picture turned out to be of his neighbor’s son (taken and used without their knowledge), and I called the police in his jurisdiction long story short, He was arrested for 38 accounts of kiddy internet porn, and enticing/luring minor’s sexual situations, attempted abductions of 4 seperate childern,. All this came to light after several “NOSEY” “OVERPROTECTED” parents alerted police to thier concerns, My call just added more reason to excute a search and arrest warrant. OK enough about that, in my line of work I have seen EVERYTHING most people can think of, but again I can NOT EXPRESS enough to EDUCATE EDUCATE EDUCATE yourselves then your children. YES MONITOR WHEN YOU NEED to and ALWAYS do a spot check or random checks on their activities. You don’t have to quoting from one comment on here: “let me ask you this: do you consider YOURSELF in danger of abduction or some other harm of person on the internet?” to become a victim of dangerous people in this world. LAST THING again quoting from comment on here: “there really is no valid reason i can possibly imagine that people watch other people’s actions on the internet. no matter who they are. parent, police officer, child predator, con artist, businessperson, it does not matter.” If you are a parent there is VALID reason, if you are a POLICE OFFICER who is part of the team that monitor the internet for the scum bags I see, deal with, and see first hand the damage they do to people and families, we are doing a service to ALL OF YOU and your families to protect you from going through finding out that your loved one was found DEAD, AND SEXUALLY assaulted from a detetive like myself. Then when you find out that there was evidence, clues, that they were messing around on the wrong things, sites, chatting with questionable people I PROMISE you will spend the rest of your life wishing your just PAID ATTENTION, and CHECKED THEIR ACTIVITIES cause it was all there. IT destroys families. So to say THERE IS NO VALID REASON to monitor your minor’s activities or for police to monitor activites is ridiculous, and niave. Trust me when I say if police are monitoring someone there is a VALID REASON, we don’t just sit around suring the internet “spying” on just any person there is and by law HAS to be reason, sexual monsters, terrorist activity or talk, identy theft, murders, and YES CORRUPT Government associates it’s not just the average person. EDUCATE EDUCATE. My BEST WISHES TO EVERYONE and I hope your never become a victim of the internet bullies, and monsters out there. BEFORE anyone asks why I was looking at this blog/site, I was trying to EDUCATE myself on Private Browsing and a new app I noticed on my son’s ipad that I never heard of and didn’t like the 3 mins I looked at what was said in the chat. (I also had his permission to look at his ipad) And I discussed with him AGAIN like I have MANY times before the dangers and for him to think first and NEVER meet anyone from the internet in person at least if he decides to I need to know when, where, why and MUST BE IN VERY BUSY and PUBLIC Place! After I expressed my concerns and reminded him why I had concerns he dicided on his own to STOP all communication with this person, when I asked why he said when he went back and re-read the messages back and forth he too then saw why I was worried and he himself thought it was questionable and terminated it. I educated him AGAIN and let him make his own decision on what he felt should be done. I now: Have 2 daughters I don’t need to identify on their 9th bay, at the morgue on a slab Take them on dates and show them how one should be treated on a date Have found the oldest surfing porn, taught by a schoolmate, and had a talk with her about it and asked her to be a child first, before becoming an adult Had the 8 year old tell me she was chatting playing Xbox and asked about replying to them, and told her maybe he’s not your age as he/she claims…that they’re fingers on a keyboard. ..possibly telling the truth, possibly not That I see both points, being a divorced father of 2, have to ask, engage in dialog with, and share my past and present experiences with them, to further solidify the trust and credibility we have between us since the moment I cut their umbilical cord when they were born. if parents are controlling enough to seek out an article such as this one, then what they require is a therapist, not a tech expert.
- First thing is to communicate with your children directly. 2. Provide them device to work on in a central place (living room) instead of their own PC or tablet or smart ph. until they are 14. 3. Put restrictions on games (as this the major contributor of violence and impatience in children). 4. Once they pass the middle school age then replace their dumb blue phone to a smart phone. 5. work with your cell phone provider to block data services on those phones. They can use your home wifi or school wifi network that has some sort of web sense installed. 6. How to block bad sites from your router. A, But a router to bridge it with your ISP provided router that is usually dumb router. B. Suggestion : NetGear AC1900 C. Setup OpenDns on your router as parental control. D. OpenDns requires your account and you can block certain sites as well. 7. How do I monitor all my devices activities. Use Linklogger that is a firmware on your router and it supports majority of routers. Keep in mind your child is safe only at home and most likely at school. But they can go to neighborhood McDonald’s, or use neighbor’s wifi that will let them have access to everything. So in addition to that as a guardian you have to also watch your children devices if they have wifi network saved from neighbors and remove them as you are gaurdian of a child and provided them this facility/luxury. Finally, spend more time with your child. Put them in sports extra curicular activities instead of them being glued to computer and smart devices. By the time they are 18 they will have no interest except on a need basis on these devices. It is the age 12-18 (for boys) and (9-16) for girls that requires all that monitoring. For younger children simply have them use a computer in a living room with parental control. A concern parent in Today’s technology. spying, monitoring, mere semantics… ethics are a consensus of morals. consensus on anything whatsoever is not a constant, least of all a systematic, self-righteous sense of moral obligations. you say you need to monitor people for a purpose other than control? then you better damn well back that up with evidence. not anecdotes since those dont prove whether things are commonplace, not statistics since those are easily fabricated 96 percent of the time like i just did now by asspulling that 96 percent statistic. only hard evidence will do. children are fully capable of learning on their own. that’s the wonder of human life. you dont need a teacher to be able to learn. PS does viewing a log like this also show incognito mode or deleted history? People learn from experience; it’s a fact. As a child, I accessed some pretty dodgy sites in my time, but as my parents and school had educated me in basic morality and ethics, I was able to understand that these were not the right sites to use. Admittedly, some of them I enjoyed using despite the fact that I shouldn’t have been, but I learned by growing up and growing out of them, as all teens do. Okay, so I read explicit fanfiction and watched videos unsuitable for my age. But I grew up, grew out of these things, and now just look back at them as stupid, childish folly. Memories. If anything, they helped me to grow up and understand how the world works- there are bad people, good people, and a little bit of both. Morality is not black-and-white, but grey. Things are not always what they seem. I’m rambling now, so I’ll get to the point. Tracking your child isn’t the most effective method: as one who experienced it, I can tell you that it doesn’t work. If they want to access something, they will find a way, and all you’ll gain is their resentment and distrust. Ever heard the phrase “strict parents create sneaky children”? It’s true. Do as you wish, but I can guarantee that you’ll lose their trust if they ever find out, and it’ll be difficult to win it back. I witheld many things from my family because I was afraid they wouldn’t understand, and now as an adult, I have realised that they were willing to understand and talk about these things, if only I had been willing to trust- but because my parents tracked me like sniffer dogs, I wasn’t. Don’t spy on your kids. Talk to them. Sit down and make them understand your fears; share your knowledge. I know it sounds stupid, but a lot of teenagers actually do want to and enjoy being able to talk, maturely and sensibly and honestly, if you can pin them down long enough to get through. If you are a good parent, you’ll get your message across, and they’ll understand. By all means, keep an eye on their activity, and if something genuinely distressing, such as hardcore porn or “adult” chat sites come up, check it out and talk to them about it, make sure they’re okay and stop them if necessary. But don’t become alpha parent, keeping tabs on the pack’s every move like a bloodhound. It doesn’t work. It just creates disharmony and discontent. Okay. Peace out. Goodnight. If I have offended anyone in any way, I apologise. That was not my intention. I hope you all have lovely, long lives and enjoy them to the full. Just another random nobody, cashing in her two cents~ There are alot of good mobile and PC monitoring applications that can control what others do on the device and also we can see what the child or suspect is doing behind closed doors. It’s best to have a discussion about this before hand just to avoid breaching of privacy. Very Informative Post I Like your content! Cheers. Log stay on as long as the router is set to hold them. It’s also possible to export log data on some devices, and save it as an archive. Comment Name * Email *
