CLI to manage traffic filter state on my UDM Pro
So my kids sometimes need to use youtube for their classes, because my county in their infinite wisdom uses if for their online class content. However other times I don't want them to have access. So I needed a way to turn it on and off easily.
Luckley Ubiquity provides means to do this in their UI which is nice ( example below ).
However this means whenever I need to make then change I have to log into this tool, navigate to the right page and then toggle the appropriate filter. As a nerd I found this totally unacceptable and needed a better way.
Personally I use Home Assistant for my home automation and wanted to expose this state trigger as a button within it. This means I needed a bridge to manage auth , present current state, and then toggle the appropriate filter when I deem it necessary. So with this app I can now use it as a command line switches within Home Assistant.
