Content filtering not working

So I put www.newegg.com into the block sites section and clicked always and then apply. The first time I tried this, it completely blocked the website. Then when I went back to take it off and add everything that I wanted to block, it stopped working. Now it doesnt block anything, even HTTP websites. If tried to reboot it and even tried the button on the back of the router to turn it off and back on and nothing still.

  • So can you still access the router's interface or is that blocked? Your message made it sound like you're locked out of your router but it might just be that the blocking isn't working.

        Could you provide a screenshot of a rule you've added for a HTTP site that's not working please?
