A friend wants to correct his sister's bad behaviour by throttling Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, etc domains. No, not blocking these domains, but something far more sinister: gradually worsening these services until she is compelled to stop being glued to her phone.

Is throttling/rate limiting domains a feature on routers? We cannot simply block the domains as that wouldn't be subtle enough; nudge techniques don't work if you know you're being nudged.

You can't throttle EVERYTHING because the internet is still a good utility.

Pretty sure you can do that, but need VLANs.
Alternatively with a simple router you may just be able to open a new SSID and limit the other one maybe, but idk what controls your system has.

Actually hell you could probably throttle by source with a cisco layer 3 switch. But I've never done any of that so I'm not 100 on it.

3Mbit/s would be more than enough for normal browsing. I fear it may even be enough to browse tiktok, I don't expect the videos there to be high in bitrate so at worst it results in a few minor waiting times.

Obviously, you need a "router" that allows you to have fine grained access. For a consumer, just get something that can run openwrt, and then write your own basic listener that drops packets of predefined domains with a probability that increases over time.
I mean, you can do more fanciful stuff like limiting the bandwidth too but dropping packets should be easier.

Still, the moment your sister leaves the house and her tiktok and shit works fine she'll eventually realize (how long this takes depends on how retarded she is) that she can just use her mobile data and your entire effort was in vain. Maybe her data cap is low, but since you'll need to install and fiddle around with a different router she will likely figure out at some point that you did something, after all, blaming other people is quite common with people of her background - and this time she'd be right.

What if she has a limited plan?

dnsmasq can write resolved ip addresses to ipsets. so you would get a list of used domains for these apps (they most likeley have cdn domains, etc) and then use some linux firewall magic to throttle connections going out to any of these ipsets.

That really depends on how large the cap is and how much she'd actually need to fulfill her addiction.
Even I got 25GiB which i guess should last for 1-2 weeks depending on her behavior. Especially since >>105815118 confirmed that the data rate of those vids is dog shit.

Won't work. Even if you successfully throttle all those domains, a new one will just pop up and she'll stay glued to the phone. Even if nothing happens, new phonefag services will pop up and the current flavor will get replaced.

Just tell your friend to lock his sister in a bunker for a year without the phone to forcibly detox her from phone addiction. Breeding is optional.

any openwrt compatible router should enable it, just consult the chart

those apps and modern devices have parental control features. doing it on network level would be too much effort for nothing. make her device managed centrally by parents and enforce app usage time.

awful idea, because if she figure it out, she'll react by becoming more secretive

My brother blocked gamespot back in the day because I kept going on it. And somehow, this was not a traumatic event! So, I think the sister in question should also find it easy to stop being a faggot.
