Program to limit time spent on a website?

[heat23]

Does anyone know if there is a Windows program (prefer free) that can limit the amount of time a user (wife) can browse a website (facebook) per day? Or can this be done with my Buffalo router running DDR-WRT?

Thanks

not sure about a particular site but i think that windows 7 parental controls can set limits on internet access times.

I think this is your solution http://lifehacker.com/374812/s...online-with-leechblock. It's a simple extension in Firefox. Once installed, you can input sites into the list and limit the time of day in which the site will be blocked.

hmm the problem is that its a Windows XP system and also there is IE on there

wife picking FB over sexy time?

Ehm, seriously, we are talking about an adult person (I presume) so ehm, talk to her. If she is spending 24/7 on facebook you have some problems.

Technology cannot solve people problems.

Yeah, thats going to go over really well when you wife finds out you've blocked her from Facebook.

You can also try iFreeFace to block Facebook at any time or set daily time limits. You don't have to have a Facebook addiction for it to save you time.

No solution that software can fix. Talk or better disconnect the internet at home. Yes people lived quite well before the internet. I saw a news item about a couple that actually IM each other to talk while they both are in the home rather than talk face to face. Get a grip people.

Another website that allows you to limit time is http://minutesplease.com/

There is a free plugin for Google Chrome named StayFocusd. You tell the plugin how much time you want to spend on certain sites for the day, and once you have surpassed your allotment, you can no longer access those sites for the rest of the day.

Maybe it should just redirect you to sesame street.

For my children, I use a combination of
1. K9 Web Protection -- block most of the garbage
2. http://www.timesupkidz.com/ -- Cons - it's $30. Plusses - It works great, the license allows me to install on as many computers in the house as I want.

people used to do fine with horse driven carriages and souls still communicate through texts.
