Sorry, I forgot to reply your last question.
No, Keexybox can't deal with Windows account. You should create 2 user accounts in KeexyBox :
- One for your son, with internet access time
- Another one for you without time limits
When your son wants to use the family computer, he will have to enter his credentials in Keexybox's captive portal to connect to the internet. If you set access time untill 3PM, the traffic will be blocked after this time. Then, If you want to use this computer, you will have to logoff internet session of your son from KeexyBox's Captive portal page and use your credential to connect to the internet.
Important note : if you use Keexybox as DNS only as suggested in my last post, only DNS traffic will be blocked after 3PM. That means with Windows DNS cache system, your son will be able to play after this time until the DNS cache expires. And if the game on the computer communicate with servers directly with the IPs, he will also be able to play after the time. The most efficient solution to cut-off internet connection after 3PM is to use KeexyBox as DNS and gateway.
Yes steam game platform could be blocked if you know the domain to be blocked in the Blacklist (eg. steampowered.com).
You also be able to identify steam domains using the Keexybox's statistics dashboard and easly add them to the Blacklist with few clicks. (https://wiki.keexybox.org/doku.php/using_statistics).
