Hello, everyone.
Some of my daughter's friends have been in trouble recently over some snapchat related issues and it has made me nervous. I am talking to her about the issue, but I would also like to kill snapchat in my home all together. I realize some might think that's overkill, but to each his own.
I am willing to throw some money at the problem if need be, but first I wanted to see if there was a way to solve the problem with what I have on-hand. I'm using a TDS provided GT784WN, not exactly a feature packed modem. She is using an iphone. I realize I can use Apple's pathetic excuse for parental controls to kill snapchat using the age restrictions, but when I do that it kills other apps that have less shady potential. I am somewhat tech savvy as long as I can find a decent tutorial online. I tried blocking a url or four before discovering that snapchat apparently has an endless supply of urls.
Hopefully you guys can help me out. I have seen that some modems have app firewalls out of the box and that may be the way to go if I can't find another solution.
Also, I realize there will still be the potential to use snapchat outside the home, but this is where she spends 90% of her time, so this is where I want to begin.
Thanks in advance,
