OpenAppFilter (OAF) is a parental control and application filtering plugin for OpenWrt routers, built as a kernel module, service daemon, and LuCI web interface. It uses DPI-based Layer 7 protocol parsing and HTTPS domain resolution to identify and block or allow hundreds of applications such as TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook.
Use cases
- block tiktok and youtube on kids' devices through the router
- parental control screen time filtering on openwrt
- filter gaming and streaming apps by category on a home network
- identify which applications clients are using on my router
- block specific apps like facebook or instagram at the network level
- custom l7 protocol signatures for app filtering
When to choose
- you run an OpenWrt router and want network-wide app-level parental controls
- you need DPI-based app identification that works independently of DNS
- you want a LuCI-integrated, low-overhead filtering solution on consumer router hardware
When to avoid
- you need filtering on non-OpenWrt systems or standard Linux servers
- you require TLS 1.3/encrypted-traffic inspection beyond domain resolution
- commercial use without contacting the author for authorization
