Address Based Filtering

[#1]

Hello

I am sick of accidentally clicking on sites like "Facebook" & "Reddit" when I am trying to research things & I wish to block these on my TG582n v 10.2.2.B. I am trying to configure Toolbox -> Parental Control -> Address Based Filtering thus:

* Address Based Filtering "yes"

* Action for Unknown Sites "allow"

* adding just the strings "facebook" & "reddit" to 2 new block rules

However they are still being let through, even after being given a multiple-minute wait. I have also tried "Action for Unknown Sites" to "block". What am I doing wrong? 

Thank you

David.

Hi David,

See page 75 here.

Have you tried entering the full website domain? e.g. reddit.com

Might be worth considering this though that popped up whilst I was searching. There's a chance it will cause a performance hit.

Is this only a single machine you want to block access from?

Hi Bob

Have seen that link & setting it to block not only made no difference it also didn't let me onto this forum! 

Have also tried "facebook.com" & "reddit.com" & no difference. I don't want any machines to access.

Why does the feature exist yet seemingly is non-functioning?

David
