So you’re OK with a device that essentially does a man-in-the-middle attack on your managed router, using ARP spoofing to pretend to be the router, rerouting traffic multiple times across the WiFi network? I’m trending toward the position that I won’t troubleshoot LAN issues or manage the router if the customer wants to do that. And that if they really like the Circle parental controls, they should buy one of the Netgear routers that has Circle built in to the router. No hacker tricks needed.
If customers want a “managed router” from us, meaning we are responsible for all their LAN and WiFi issues, I’m getting tired of them trying to add spoofing devices, range extenders, etc. to the network. Hey Mr. Customer, if you want to manage your network, you’re welcome to, but it’s one or the other – ISP managed or customer managed. Make up your mind. Or call Geek Squad. https://www.netgear.com/landings/circle/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/07/can-disneys-circle-really-deliver-a-porn-free-internet/ From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Ryan Ray Sent: Wednesday, September 9, 2020 11:39 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Circle parental control device We have customers using Circle with a Calix 844e and 804 mesh and it works fine.

I could see people blaming their ISP for stuff not working if they set the default settings to restrict a lot of stuff. I set ours to block facebook and some other stuff for anybody who connects to the wifi but isn’t assigned to a profile. I haven’t had any problems with it causing any signal issues though.

It's not inline at all. If possible, it should be hardwired to the router instead of wifi for best performance.

How does this work if it’s just another device on the WiFi? It seems like it would have to either be inline with the path to the Internet, or somehow take over DNS.
