Looking at products like Gryphon or Circle, I feel like this should be pretty easy to do self-hosted. It’s just firewall rules right? Anyone know of a good open source/self-host product I can do this? A phone app is not a requirement. A web interface is fine.

I’m kind of trying right now with PiHole and cron jobs but something prettier and more comprehensive would be nice.

What’s your problem with PiHole? Why do you need Cron jobs? I’m quite happy with PiHole. If you like, I can try to help you with some questions there.

Cron jobs are mainly for enabling and disabling internet access by mac address on a schedule. I also like that these commercial products force search to google or duckduckgo safe search, and youtube to youtube restricted on a per user basis (which really could be done by mac address). I mean I can prob do all this with firewall rules myself. But a slick web interface would be cool.

In Pi-Hole you can define groups and add devices to them and then assign block lists to those groups. I’m not sure if all your use cases are covered. Maybe you can check their discourse to see if others have found a decent way. The web interface is quite nice from my point of view.

Didn’t know there was a discourse. Thanks!
