I can block users&#8217; network access by MAC address by time periods.  There is a separate option to permanent block to a different type of content without a time period.  It is not possible for me to restrict gaming or Youtube to a specific timeslot, eg after school hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After some searching around, it seems that the Pfsense is the most common lab\/home use firewall.
