Android Wi-Fi Connectivity Check Using All Spent Online Hours
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have a couple of teenagers for which I use the parental controls to limit the number of hours they can be online each day. This works fine for my daughter who has Apple devices, but not so for my son who has an Android phone.
Android is sending out many requests to connectivitycheck.gstatic.com which is eating into his available hours spent online. This is effectively rendering the parental controls feature unusable for him. I have attempted to both block and allow the domain in the Deco interface but it has no effect on its count against his time spent online.
My suggestion is that blocked domains in Deco should not count toward the time limit. This is not something I can easily workaround without rooting his device and disabling the captive portal functionality in Android.
