URL filtering
Can I increase the number of URL filtering to more than 10?

When can you remove the (honestly: useless) feature? It's just adding overhead to the code, slowing down proessing. Zero added value for security.

So, I am trying to block the adult site and others and I was not able to get it to work with OpenDNS, any suggestion?

So hundred or thousand entries would not be enough. And the simple bypass by using https instead remains.

To vague. Using the WAC510 as a router or as a wireless access point only? Configure the Internet router as well as the WAC to make use of the OpenDNS DNS server IP addresses intended for the OpenDNS service packet/product. Unless you have a very good router which would allow firewalling DNS queries to other DNS providers, the users can still configure alternate DNS servers on their computers.
OpenDNS - Router Configuration - best for home use

Thank you, schumaku. I am using the WAC510 as a router and Access Point. I am planning to provide a guest WIFI and would like to block adult, file sharing and other websites for average people, any suggestion will be appreciated.
Best.
