A firewall/router is configured in a best practices approach for security and performance and, as such, greatly enables non-technical consumers to install it as a gateway point in a small network setting. Certain embodiments provide a means to monitor network usage, configure content filtering, schedule hours of access for certain networked devices and specify which network devices may connect to the WAN. It is envisioned that certain embodiments may also be capable of sending alerts to designated and configurable targets. WAN access may be granted or blocked or throttled on a per network device basis using parameters such as, but not limited to, time of day, throttling characteristics, and classification of the content being served by the target resource. |
