I have an internet connection that I'd like to be enabled only during the day. With multiple household internet devices, this would need to be something disabled at the level of the router.
I don't believe the router offers this sort of functionality, but I'm reasonably familiar with setting up web servers and the like, and I'm wondering if I can set up some sort of proxy server on the internet that the router must go through and have that proxy only active at certain times of day.
It's a bit vague I know, but is something like this even possible?
If not, are there other solutions to the problem?
3Do you have access to the router's admin features? If you give us a make and model someone might be able to give you specifics. – CharlieRB – 2012-08-29T13:26:44.587
The question title is in conflict with the actual question. "How to disable internet access at night"..."I have an internet connection that I'd like to be enabled only at night" – Moab – 2012-08-29T13:58:15.690
I don’t know about your situation, but we have a cable-modem that has a standby button on top, so each night, I just hit it to turn off all Internet access, even to the router itself (it doesn’t really need to update its clock in the middle of the night). It’s not automatic, but it’s simple and effective. – Synetech – 2012-08-29T14:33:18.860
