XR500 V2.3.2.130 BUG with http content filtering ONLY, needs *ANY* protocol blocking support

XR500 V2.3.2.130 content filtering only filters http traffic and is totally useless since nobody uses http anymore, all is now https. Should also block any protocol, not just http and https.

 

Please Fix.

 

Also add the option to import/export blocklists, using files or URLs

 

Thank You!

 

Is this fixed in the DumaOS 3 beta?

  • This is a Netgear feature and it does only block HTTP traffic, it's not a bug as that was its intention. You may be able to get something like this though from us in a future firmware.

      I heard there is a way to get this done using "Traffic control" with the DumaOS 3 beta?

      Is this true? Can you tell me the procedure?

        You can block all traffic, a port range, applications e.g. CoD, FIFA etc and categories but you cannot specify websites to block
