Hi vedicsys,

Welcome to our community! 🙂

Content filtering of FVS336Gv3 can only block HTTP sites and not HTTPS. This is a product limitation and none of the NETGEAR firewalls supports blocking traffic of HTTPS-encrypted websites. We do have the UTMs that supports this type of filtering but it was also been stopped in production. My apologies on that.

If ever your concern has been addressed or resolved, I encourage you to mark the appropriate reply as the “Accepted Solution” so others can be confident in benefiting from the solution. The NETGEAR Community looks forward to hearing from you and being a helpful resource in the future!

No restrictions on HTTPS URL's, why content filtering is a useful option of this device. I think waste to buy this device.
