This policy enforcement should be done on endpoints/user devices. Not telco. Full stop.
*eyeroll* The bottom line is that if folks were willing to pay an appropriate extra fee for an Internet access account whose PPPOE or equivalent session terminated at the child-safety box instead of your other equipment, you'd be all over it. But it *would* be an extra fee because it costs more money to do that and it would be outrageous to propose that folks who don't want or need that service subsidize its cost. A Houston startup called iExalt tried to do just that a little over 25 years ago with enhanced dialup service. Not enough parents ponied up the cash. Unless parental attitudes have changed, that's where the conversation stops: with dollars and sense. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
