Not the routing rules.

Routing information! Basically set up the DHCP for their device as an assigned IP address by the MAC address and then set their Gateway (Default Route) to some bogus IP like 127.0.0.1 and then force it to update. Bam! Unless they're now how to TCP/IP, and most non-nerdy children won't be able to go anywhere outside of the sub-net mask.

I routinely just remotely lock the tablets of my small children instead of pry them away - less drama that way...

wouldn't work with an older child though as they'd know what I'm doing

that said, when the time comes, I'll probably still have the same type of openwrt router and will just put some rule in there...

No rules needed! Just push down bad routing information to their machine via DHCP!

Submission + - Slashdot Alum Samzenpus's Fractured Veil Hits Kickstarter

CmdrTaco writes: Long time Slashdot readers remember Samzenpus,who posted over 17,000 stories here, sadly crushing my record in the process! What you might NOT know is that he was frequently the Dungeon Master for D&D campaigns played by the original Slashdot crew, and for the last few years he has been applying these skills with fellow Slashdot editorial alum Chris DiBona to a Survival game called Fractured Veil. It's set in a post apocalyptic Hawaii with a huge world based on real map data to explore, as well as careful balance between PVP & PVE. I figured a lot of our old friends would love to help them meet their kickstarter goal and then help us build bases and murder monsters! The game is turning into something pretty great and I'm excited to see it in the wild!
