Device Blocker

==============



Limit screen time to children's various mobile devices by blocking internet

access on the family Wifi router.



This is the server which runs on the WiFi router. It has an API which lists

devices, opens and closes internet access for devices, and discovers new

devices on the router.



I run this on Lede 17.01.



It has a companion UI project:

[device-blocker-ui](https://github.com/darrint/device-blocker-ui)



Build/Installation

==================



Install Lede on a router and also download the correct Lede SDK for your

router.



Add the SDK to your path. For example:



`PATH=~/Downloads/lede-sdk-17.01.2-x86-64_gcc-5.4.0_musl-1.1.16.Linux-x86_64/staging_dir/toolchain-x86_64_gcc-5.4.0_musl-1.1.16/bin:$PATH`



Build the companion UI project:

[device-blocker-ui](https://github.com/darrint/device-blocker-ui)



```

# ... in the device-blocker-ui directory

npm install -g yarn

yarn

webpack --optimize-minimize --define process.env.NODE_ENV="'production'"

```



Next copy the resulting bundle.js and index.html files to this project's `src`

directory.



Use rustup to install a stable compiler for the architecture appropriate for

your router.



`cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --release`



Edit and copy some files from this project to your router:



* Edit and copy `known_devices.json` to `/etc/`

* Edit and copy `device_blocker.procd` to `/etc/init.d/device_blocker`

* Copy `target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/device-blocker` to `/root/`

* Make sure both `/root/device-blocker` and `/etc/init.d/device_blocker` are executable.



Use the LuCi interface to enable and start the service:



* Go to System -> Startup.

* Find device-blocker.

* Enable the service.

* Start the service.



ToDo

====

* Write files atomically.

* Figure out how to build this project with Xargo and deploy to mips and other router architecture.

* Security? Require a login similar to OpenWRT's LuCi
