I thought DDWRT had per-MAC time controls. Easily spoofed, but if your kid<br>
learns how to do that (good thing) AND you allow the privilege for it to be<br>
possible, then it is your fault. I hven't looked at the router settings in<br>
months - but google showed a screen that had per-MAC settings.<br>
<br>
Any proxy will mess with gaming network performance. Game consoles might not<br>
like having any proxy at all, if that is a consideration. I dunno.<br>
<br>
Xen has issues that make it less than ideal to use on any desktop.<br>
