Virgin Media Superhub 2ac parental controls not working

If you can block some devices (iPhone/android phone) but not others (i.e. Games consoles), this could be Universal Plug and Play (uPnP) is enabled in the settings on your router. uPnP is usually enabled by default on most routers. Try disabling uPnP from your routers web page and check if this resolves issues. uPnP is used by games consoles and other devices (TVs etc) so they can easy connect to different services bypassing your routers security settings and they can punch holes in your routers firewalls for example, open up ports to the outside world and bypass some router parental controls. There have been reported issues with uPnP where your TV or printer could get hacked through uPnP for example. Its safer to disable uPnP on your router and this has been known root cause of some of our customers that certain devices just do not block but by disabling uPnP on the router this has resolved the issue. i.e. you block say a PlayStation 4 but the PlayStation still has internet access – uPnP protocol at use – disabling it fixed the blocking issue and console was then controllable by the app. Solution: Disable uPnP on your routers admin web page.
