Orbi Adult Content Filter not Workin
The orbi (RBE770) parental controls are not blocking adult websites. I've verified that there is no VPN enabled and tried from both iphone and laptop.
additionally, VPN tomy work network no longer works and I occasionally can't get an https connection to some sites, such as nytimes.com
I'm wondering if my router was hacked. Any thoughts?
