Nighthawk R7900P will not block porn sites
I have an R7900P Nighthawk router, at one time I was able to block specific sites namely porn sites. This function is no longer working even though the block list still shows my entries. What is going on?
Firmware Version 1.4.3.88_1.3.50

Hello, my router is no longer blocking sites on several devices in my house like cell phones and my newest laptop running windows 11. I have listed in my block site under security. This is very troubling and is a major issue with children in the house.
Router: NightHawk R7900P

its an issue with https
It causes issues with site blocking versus some routers have domain blocking.
