OpenWrt Parentwall
Fri, 13 Feb 2026
I am currently working on a small project that turns an OpenWrt router into a whitelist-based Internet gateway for a children-friendly subnet. The idea is simple: instead of trying to block "bad" content, the router only allows access to explicitly approved domains. Everything else is denied by default.
For example, you can allow:
- Chess.com
- Wikipedia
Attempts to access other sites – such as Facebook, YouTube, or inappropriate content – are blocked at the router level.
