.io games
My kids have gotten hooked on a bunch of games in the .io domain which is great and sucks simultaneously. It's great as it provides leverage for getting stuff done. The downside it none of the games are classified as game so the only way I can block it is to blacklist it. However once all their chores, homework, and the like are complete I want them to have access to those sites which means on a daily basis I'm having to blacklist it, unblock it, and then remember to reblock that entire domain. Is there a way to set up specific website blocking based on a schedule? IE block the .io domain between 9pm and say 6pm?
The whole purpose of getting a router that supported parental controls, for me, was to block adult content and control access time to games and timewasters. And am not sure how to get these games categorized appropriately, Hopefully there is a better process then just community voting as there are literally hundreds of these games.
this links to over 400 of these games.

According to the Netgear instructions there is a way:

Yes, there is a better process: you raise a support ticket, link "Submit a request" above.
