The tilde prefix (~) can be used to restrict blocking to sites that contain given keywords. Within a keyword you can use an asterisk (*) to match any number of characters (except whitespace) and an underscore (_) to match whitespace. Note that the keyword matching is case-insensitive (i.e., uppercase and lowercase are treated as equivalent).
On the left hand pane, click on the user account for whom you want to block or unblock websites, then click 'Enable Parental Controls.' This cannot be an administrator account. If your child does not have an account, select the option 'create a new account with parental controls' and follow the onscreen prompts. I give you an 'F'. People who keep asking about MAC addresses totally fail at networking. For the most part, I would give them a failing grade in any CS networking class I was teaching. In this free lesson from video2brain's course, Word 2010 Mail Merge Workshop, Tim Grey guides you through the process of inserting a block of text for the ad. If you want to pick and choose which records to use from Outlook Contacts, click the Filter Recipients button and make your selections. The next step is to add the fields to the first address block using the Insert Merge Field button on the Mailings Tab of the Ribbon. You choose one field at a time. You get a really big jump on creating a simple merge letter simply by using these built-in address blocks that use the fields that you matched up earlier using the Match Fields feature. Use individual fields within the body of the letter, but try to use the Address Block and Greeting Line to kick off the beginning of your letter in Word 2010.
So, for example, you could enter the following into the list of sites:
somesite.com
anothersite.com
~anteaters
~crypto*
~*alicious
~green_eggs_and_ham
This would result in pages on the sites somesite.com and anothersite.com being blocked only when those pages contain the complete word 'anteaters' or any word beginning with 'crypto' or any word ending with 'alicious' or the complete phrase 'green eggs and ham'.
If you want to block pages on any website that contain given keywords, you'll need to use wildcards to specify all websites. For example:
*
~justin_bieber
~kim_kardashian
If you want pages with the specified keywords to be allowed rather than blocked, you should select the option Treat keywords as allow-conditions rather than block-conditions under Advanced Options. Thus, if you were to select that option with the example above, the effect would be to block all pages except those containing 'justin bieber' or 'kim kardashian' (not something I recommend, just for the record).

So Let's jump in and I will cover the entire post in 2 steps.
First thing first. Identify who is on your wifi network by using software like ‘Who is on my wifi' or ‘Fing'.
Here's a screenshot of ‘who is on my wifi' software that I use to determine mac addresses of all the connected devices on my wifi network.
Once you find out the list of MAC addresses of all the devices connected to your network, next you have to check for the mac addresses of your own devices. Because this is the only way you filter out the unknown devices.
Don't worry…. if you do not know how to check mac addresses of your smartphone or PC/Laptop. Check it out below. It will take not more than 2-3 min to figure it out.
- Find MAC address of your Android or iPhone.
- Find MAC address of your PC/Laptop and Mac.
After finding out the mac addresses of all the users on your network, I encourage you to prepare a list. This is not absolutely necessary, but believe me, it will make your job easier.
