Copying bypass accounts

Hi,

I have sometimes the need to lower the restrictions an the bypass account that my son is using on his computer. This takes a lot of time for me to change the settings.

It would be much easier for me, if I could just change the settings by copying them from another bypass account that I have only set up for the copying.

Could it be possible to implement such a feature in the utility that manages the bypass accounts on the website at least?

  You better open a support ticket with OpenDNS.  We other users may not have an answer to your question.  However, did you try with scheduled blocking?  That should do automatically what you want to achieve.

  Especially the scheduled blocking is what takes a lot of time to change. And that is what I would like to copy from another bypass account.

  It seems to me there's some misunderstanding, not sure if it's me or you.  You may be doing something wrong.  Best would be to work through these instructions (especially from step 11).

  I do not see a need to copy settings from one bypass account to another, especially not scheduled blocking.  Or your requirements are so unique and individual that I cannot see a chance for implementation.

  It would be a way to remotely set a set of settings for a computer to a set of settings from another bypass account without changing the bypass account on the mentioned computer. One could of course do that by simply changing the bypass account that the computer is set to. But after a certain age children don't like it, if you change something on their computer.

  I think there would be a general need for it.
