NETGEAR ProSafe SRX5308 - How to block https://www.youtube.com/
I recently upgraded to Firmware Version: 4.3.5-3 and go to Security > Content Filtering. I add 'youtube.com' to 'Blocked Keywords' but doesn't do anything. I have seen other posts where someone says https is not supported. Does this mean my firewall is outdated and need a new one?
So I then tried, Security > Firewall > LAN WAN Rules and add an entry for any LAN users and set the WAN User to the IP when I do nslookup www.youtube.com but it still works. Youtube has a ton of IPs.
Is there a better firewall for a very small business that will do blocking such as this? Or is there an update coming soon that will allow to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi lleemon,
The firmware version 4.3.5-3 is the latest firmware that has just been recently released. I am afraid to inform you that it is not possible to block HTTPS websites on any ProSAFE VPN Firewall even if you are using the latest firmware version.
