I have google wifi - I would like to see all websites visited. I have tried OpenDNS. It doesn't show all entries and it is not real time. Are there any local options? I was thinking about getting a low-cost router and having it in between the modem and google wifi - Has anyone tried this or a different approach? This is mainly for parental control.
Google/Nest WiFi does not log web sites visited. It turns out not to be something that can be reliably done at the network layer, even more now that browsers are doing their own direct DNS resolution (so the original domain name lookups don't go through the DNS server in the local router(s)). I found the best tools for this sort of thing to be at the operating system level on each client device. Microsoft and Apple both have pretty good tools for this, and they should be more reliable than trying to do it at the packet level in a router.
Hi, grass.
I just wanted to jump in real fast to see if you saw MichaelP's reply and to see if you still needed some help on this or if you were able to get it sorted out. If you are still needing some help, just let us know and we'll be happy to continue helping.
Thanks.
Hi, everyone.
Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.
Thanks.
Hi, everyone.
As we haven't had any activity here recently I'm going to go ahead and close the thread. If you have more to add, feel free to start a new discussion.
Thanks
