![]() I do this with uBlock Origin in my browser when I find that I'm spending too much time on forums (like this one) instead of getting my work done, and I need to break the habit. It seems irrational, but adding just a little friction or reminder for yourself can make a big difference. The question was strange to me in that it seemed like they wanted to block themselves from the temptation of using those sites which can't be correct. If they don't know the answer, they will ask friends who will tell them how to get around it. The only thing you have to watch out for if you are doing this for minors is they too know about VPN and there are hundreds of clients they can use to get around any kind of blocking, and are a lot savvier then you might think. Take a look at OpenDNS, it may save you a lot of money and there are maybe other sites you want blocked It's a little more complicated on Windows but it's also doable If you have Linux machines, you can edit the /etc/hosts file and just block whatever sites you want in that file (provided that other users don't have admin rights) Each device will need to have their DNS settings changed from the default to the one at Cisco. You may not have to upgrade your WI-FI router, instead take a look at Cisco's OpenDNS which you can subscribe to and specify which sites you want to block. Is There any router that supports blocking selected websites across all devices at home We have to work on a computer or ipad or phone kinds of devices due to WFH and school/homework from home. I'm not looking to 'protect' them for the most part as I realize that is largely a losing battle. My philosophy is (and we'll see how it works as the kids grow older) to limit distractions and help teach them about appropriate computer and Internet usage (I talk a lot about 'work time' and 'entertainment time' and how we have to separate those even though we can do either on the same devices). The bigger issue is that by the time most kids are of age to be able to do this, they will also have a mobile phone which would have to be managed through a different system when they are using the cellular network. Of course there are all sorts of creative ways around any system, but Firewalla is pretty close to enterprise grade functionality in a package an average user can easily manage. In addition to its filtering, it has an excellent notification system that alerts you (if you want) as soon as a given device, group of devices, or any device starts accessing a certain site, IP, range of IP's, geographic location, class of sites (gaming, video, vpn, etc). That said as I told my ex if my son was going to get past my controls (and he did) at least he will have a marketable skill (he is a first year comp sci student with a concentration in cybersecurity so my evil plan worked out).įirewalla will give you the control to even manage technically inclined users. I haven't looked at Firewalla but in my experience running an enterprise grade firewall at home with a technically sophisticated teenager let me assure you, unless you spend a lot of time reviewing the logs and playing cat and mouse with the kids no fire and forget solution (other than blocking the whole internet) is going to hold. It might be more important to just have the stated policy of "no streaming video", make sure your network users are aware of it, and have some sort of disciplinary action for those that are caught breaking the policy. and even then you'll discover some people can find holes in just about any policy. To be more effective, you need a firewall that starts with blocking EVERYTHING, then you allow only approved websites as they are vetted, and you need active monitoring to see how/where people are circumventing it. Unfortunately, it's really hard to stop a network savvy user who really wants to circumvent your website blocks. Unfortunately, as was already pointed out, if the users of the end computer are savvy enough they simply change their device to use a different DNS, or use any of the YouTube "proxy" servers out there to bypass the attempted block. For a simple solution I would second the suggestion of setting "OpenDNS" for the DNS server used on the router, and use that to not provide DNS resolution for the domain names you don't want used. There isn't going to be a simple solutions that's also highly effective. OP seems to want a firewall, you can find WiFi routers with features like that built in, but not very good ones.

On the downside, our risks include higher customer acquisition costs, long sales cycles, higher-than-expected corporate expenses, higher competition, supply chain constraints, and Athena software reliability with dependency on Amazon Web Services.SAN FRANCISCO & BOULDER, Co.-( BUSINESS WIRE)-Stem, Inc. Given the small changes in 2023 numbers, we decided to leave unchanged our target price at $16 per share. As a reminder, we value Stem on a forecasted 2025 EV/EBITDA due to the fact that the company is not currently profitable. Therefore, following the quarter released, we slightly revise our 2023-25 adj. Order backlog is still solid with $1.2 billion, with $364 million of new bookings in the quarter, in line with the communicated target. On the short-term horizon, Wall Street's focus remains on the company's ability to turn an adjusted EBITDA in positive territory in 2023 second half-year. For the above reason, we continue to see 2025 sales at $1.1 billion, with an EBITDA of $150 million. In addition, on top-line sales, we see that a significant portion of Stem sales will be software-only. Considering the company's competitive position, here at the Lab, we believe that this is a reasonable assumption. ![]() Our Stem model forecasts an installed capacity of 8.5GWh by the end of 2025. Looking at the industry opportunity, the US should install an energy storage capacity of ~160GW by 2030. Mare previous analysis Conclusion, Valuation, and Risks ![]() This is also emphasized by Stem's long-term segment growth rates expectation: This is an asset-light business that is not requiring higher working capital commitments. Therefore, the company is pursuing more software-only contracts. In Q1, the former sales delivered a plus 7% on a quarterly basis, while the latter was up by 22%. This is supported by management targets and by the fact that the company also broke out software and storage revenue. We are forecasting H2 2023 revenue at a plus 75%. Stem 2023 Outlook Changes to our Estimates More importantly, the company confirmed their expectation to be adjusted positively on EBITDA H2. In addition, Stem reaffirmed its 2023 outlook with revenue in the range between $550 and 650 million, implying a +65% growth on a yearly basis and a non-GAAP GM of 15-20% (it was 13% in 2022). Here at the Lab, we believe that Stem's management is likely to not use the surplus capital due to the ongoing macro concerns. To sum up, the new green bond will reduce Stem's net debt by only $28 million to $216 million. In addition, there were $28 million capped call fees and additional service costs. Why? Stem is using the green bond to retire a $163 million November 2028 convertible note. At first sight, this is a lower number than the amount raised. On a balance sheet basis, this results in approximately $106 million higher cash and cash equivalents. In numbers, this green bond has a 4.25% interest payment. What is important to emphasize is that the company issued a $240 million convertible in April 2023. After a solid Q1, we should say that sales represented only 11% of the 2023 estimated turnover. In detail, hardware revenue reached $53 million in the quarter, while service software sales were at $15 million. The turnover beat was mainly due to higher-than-expected hardware revenues. GM reached 19% compared to an average consensus of 13%. Very briefly, the company exceeded Wall Street estimates both at top-line sales and gross margin ($67 million vs. ![]() In Q2, Stem announced a new Green Convertible Senior Notes, presented the Q1 numbers, and unveiled the Sysco eMobility Riverside EV project. Based on our internal model with lower top-line sales and a lower EBITDA projection, we decided to reduce our EPS estimate to $0.75 and $0.5 in 20 respectively and our buy rating decreased from $20 to $16 per share. ![]() Despite that, Stem's management forecasted a positive H2 EBITDA however, we were more cautious about 2023 numbers, deriving a yearly EBITDA estimate of -$25 million with an order backlog of $1.5 billion. Last time, we decided to lower our target price confirming a long-term buy rating. Since our last update released in mid-April, Stem ( NYSE: STEM) seems to be back on track, and on a stock price performance basis, the company delivered a plus 30% appreciation.
