Yeah, it's just Netspark needs to be configured for some apps to work properly, set a exception for audible to be on a lighter level and see if that helps... I find that lots of times it applies stronger rules to apps vs the website... For example I can't get images to load in Twitter app but on the website it works fine.

thanks that was the prob I called TAG and the apps started workin

Is anyone aware of a way to block all vpn traffic on android internally such as with iptables etc.

I've been using netnanny for a like 2 years now, as per all the reviews online it's the best software, but i really don't like it. It blocks waaaaaaaay too many unnecessary things, and the admin interface is poorly designed. there are still things i can't figure out how to do. Also, random things get blocked for weird reasons that i can't fix. Examples: parts of LinkedIn, sam.cengage.com, setting up ProctorU, video games keep crashing... etc. I also have Surfblocker by Blumenthals installed on my computer for a simple internet on/off switch, it's highly effective, so maybe that's what is causing the problems?

Any ideas?

Someone I know, had a child that was born with severe physical problems, לא עלינו.

They are very frum, and would not have any machine in their house that has wifi, it must be removed.

They need a device that can take videos of the therapy that the specialists do on their child, and then have the child's nurses watch the videos to know how to do the therapies.

A camera's screen is too small to comfortabley watch a 30 minute therapy.

Is there a device (small tablet or large smartphone, or maybe a camera with a good screen for watching video?) that can be bought cheaply (around $50) that can have wifi removed?

This device would need to (at least with a micro sd slot) hold at least 64GB of data.

TIA.

There are apps that can block settings, so if WiFi is turned off, you can then block settings so it can't be turned back on.

This is not as good as actually physically removing the WiFi radio (which I don't know how to do).

Tag can do that on certain devices.

Talk&Tech in Lakewood sells devices that the internet capabilities are physically removed

Is there a filter that would block web browsing, but allow other apps to access the internet for syncing etc?

EG: MS Outlook, Evernote, etc.

Thanks!

If the user isn't an admin, you can block IE in group policy or the built in parental controls, and make sure there are no other browsers installed.

User is an admin, and we have lots of browsers installed

Also I'd like this to be a time restriction block, and also allow anyone with the filter pw to log in to the internet whenever they want.

For Android root uninstall the browsers
for computers Livigent block all with bypassing these apps

There used to be something called FilterNet out there that worked this way (I think). Anyone know if it still exists?

That won't block Google Chrome from being installed unless you modify the app data permissions
