I’m currently stuck in a used bedroom infested with flies at the time of writing this.

My parents have decided to block internet whenever I try to move my PC back upstairs. Asking them wouldn’t work out because it usually falls on deaf ears.

A few days ago, they moved it without my knowledge, and I noticed that my folding table was gone from my bedroom.

I’m planning to set it back up again, but they might turn my internet off when they catch me. I’m trying to get a few ideas and create a plan to move my PC back upstairs.

I found a few tutorials on getting through parental controls, but the tutorials are done on Windows and parental controls are set up using TP-Link.

    Could it be Mac filtering though? Sounds like they’re implying that only when the computer goes upstairs it would be blocked.

      My interpretation is that the parents are manually putting blocks in place after the device is moved. Of course if that’s the case and they’re actively managing this, you can get around it but they’ll notice eventually either way.

      Without knowing more specifics it’s hard to say. If it’s over a wireless network, using consumer grade equipment, Mac filtering is the option most people have out of the box. They can enable/disable it from a phone if they’re using TP-Links app.

      Anything else involves VLANs and firewall rules, and if that’s the case OP is out of their depth
