    Hi,

    I want to use my TP-link router to track all outgoing internet traffic.
    I thought I was onto a winner with this article:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/68886/how-to-configure-your-router-for-network-wide-url-logging/

    but WallWatcher doesn’t seem to work with Windows 10 and can’t identify my router…plus the software hasn’t been updated since 2011.

    Can anyone recommend a bit of software I can interrogate my router with to monitor what the kids are doing online?

    For live monitoring try etherape (or for more info but harder to identify, wireshark), you can get it on a Linux live USB pen. For historical logs, not sure.

    Why not interrogate the kids , ask them instead of spying on them ?

    Once your kids know you’re monitoring them, they’ll have it bypassed and/or use other accesses

    Thanks guys, the kids are still young enough not to be sysadmins 🙂
    They know we log all traffic and can check, we’re upfront about that. I’m fully aware how easy it is to bypass pretty much anything if you set your mind to it.
    There’s no 3/4G signal here so they’re stuck using the wifi…
