Router Limits Hardware
-
I am looking to buy a piece of hardware that does parental control and can be easily be added to a home network. Does anyone have experience with Router Limits? Good or bad? Please let me know your thoughts.

Looks like it's just another DNS/DHCP/Firewall tool with a front ux that's easier to manage.

Don't use technology as a replacement for being a parent.

Not familiar with that one specifically. There are several that would seem to do similar things. I'm sure that they all work roughly the same.
I think Disney makes one now, but I wouldn't trust a Disney device. Tech and Disney are oil and water.

Maybe a pi-hole server with lists to block certain categories?

Router Limits appears to just be another DNS tool, and one from Bark. Bark wasn't too impressive on
if I remember correctly. -
Their hardware looks pretty crappy. Like 2002 era junk. And their partners aren't very impressive (or known.)

Pi-Hole version 5 is in beta and you can use its new group management to fine tune web filtering.
Create your groups
Add your clients to your groups
Add your domain as a exact whitelist, regex whitelist, exact blacklist, or regex blacklist and assign it to your group
You can use group assignment to assign your adlist.

Adguard Home has native parental controls. https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome

In Pi-Hole v5, you can assign clients to multiple group assignments.

Yeah, that is not how that works.
