I did a 3-part video series talking about setting up "Parental controls" (using a mixture of OpenWRT and PiHole), which can flexibly dial back access to certain websites - especially Social Media ones - on a given home LAN. This denial can be on a timed basis, and/or on a MAC-address basis.

Even when fully restricted, LAN access is still granted to a convenient library (served up by calibre-web) of edifying, much-more-wholesome ebooks on a Raspberry Pi, self-hosted. This flexible approach always leaves something to be accessed for those who still feel the need for an "out" of some sort (instead of total denial of all internet access).

Here's part 3, where I showed the setup and operation of OpenWRT and Pihole: https://bhikkhu.ca/buddhism/video/2022/12/19/Dhamma_Talk_098...

Part 2 talked about Calibre-web the most, which is linked to there.
