Parental controls on IDNet

No documented network filter

IDNet is a UK technical ISP (Openreach and CityFibre). They do not publish a parental controls product page. Add a free DNS layer at the router and device-level controls per child.

Step by step

How to switch it on

  1. 01

    Sign into your router admin (address on the router label, typically 192.168.1.1).

  2. 02

    Find DNS settings under WAN or Internet.

  3. 03

    Set DNS to Cloudflare for Families: primary 1.1.1.3, secondary 1.0.0.3. This blocks adult content and malware across every device.

  4. 04

    Save and restart the router. Two to five minutes for devices to pick up the new DNS.

  5. 05

    Install Apple Screen Time or Google Family Link on each child's device.

Honest limits

What it covers and what it does not

Covers

Once Cloudflare for Families is set, every device on the network gets adult and malware blocking.

Does not cover

No per-child profiles at network level. No activity logs without device-level apps.

Add a free DNS filter

IDNet does not run a network-level parental control filter. The fastest fix is to add a free DNS filter at your router. It covers every device on your Wi-Fi in one step and takes about ten minutes.
