Parental controls on toob

Router-level access control + DNS layer recommended

toob is a south-coast altnet covering Southampton, Portsmouth, Bournemouth, and surrounding areas. Their supplied router has access control (device schedules) but no branded category filter. We recommend adding Cloudflare 1.1.1.3 on the router DNS for adult content blocking.
