Hi
Wondering if someone can help a noob?
I have a netgear nighthawk r8000.
I minimal parental control set up at this stage. I have an opendns account (highest level)set up with it on wan just for kiddies.

Am I able to set up individual user accounts?

Is there some way that I can get email requests on those using wan to Block/unblock specific websites? Ie if a study website is required asap? And I need to give access remotely.

Is there a feature that I can restrict YouTube to just "clean" videos or at least to YouTube kids but being able to block annoying minecraft videos?

Can I monitor and make changes remotely after initial set up?

Need to set up this router in another household where I need where I can't physically be around all the time.

Any ideas much appreciated.
TIA

I don't believe so.

No. The email would need to be generated manually.

I thought that opendns did this? If not, no.

Yes. Setup remote access under the System->Router Access page.
You'll probably also want a dynamic DNS service so you can easily access the IP address.
