Balance 30 PRO - Content Filtering - Lite Version Categories

Hello Peplink Support,
A product that is picking up in popularity here in Australia is the Peplink Balance 30 PRO; customers are taking to this as a practical network edge device.

Missing is something found on all their other Peplink & Pepwave router, that is category based content filtering. Related post in the forum that has asked for this in the past are:
@cgreen Add category based content filtering to other devices in the range
@mldowling Balance 30 LTEA - Content Filtering - Lite Version Categories

Of particular interest would be to have the content filtering option like the Lite categories, as mentioned in these two posts:

Also to be able to monitor the port status would be nice too as previously spoken about here (and visible now with many devices on FW7.1.2 & FW 8.0.0)

Happy to Help,
Marcus

Would be nice if at least the light version of the content filtering category list could be implemented in the Balance 30 pro.

But this request seems to be ignored…

We initially had a loan MAX BR1 LTE for a POC which had the lite-content web filtering and liked the device so much we went and purchased the Balance 30 Pro for the actual rollout. We were a bit surprised to see that the Balance 30 Pro had no content filtering, so was out reseller and support partner.

It would be great to bring the content filter to this model as it seems like a great little small/medium branch router where web filtering is usually a given requirement.
