Firewall rules by timer
-
Hello, My firewall is used at home and I use the firewall rules to limit my children's internet access.
But the short coming with schedules is that I have to maintain any exceptions eg if my daughter wants 30 minutes in the morning I have to create a new rule and activate it and then deactivate it so it is not available the next day or next week.
This is not a lot of housekeeping, but I think it could be easier.My idea is to have a set number of minutes available during the day which can be used at their discretion.
As this is not standard I need some help.
I can create my own timer but I cannot figure out how I can enable or disable a rule. ( my plan is to have a permeant blocking rule and above that an accepting rule which the kids can enable if they have the time available )Any help or clues would be appreciated
