Blocking web sites
I tried entering "****hub.com" and with and without the https prefix and neither of those succeed in blocking the site. What is the correct way to block the site? Netgear advertises this functionality, but I can't make it work. I am on the latest FW
V1.0.3.36_1.1.25 |
Thanks

TheEther Thanks for confirming! :D
It is recommended that you use Live Parental Control to block these HTTPS sites.
How do I configure Live Parental Controls on my NETGEAR router using the NETGEAR genie app?

In the interest of, ahem, research I can confirm that por****.com uses https. Keyword blocking is ineffective against https URLs due to encryption.
