WNDR4000 - Am I able to block a specific URL?
Hello, I am using a the NETGEAR WNDR4000 wireless router. I have been using the parental controls via the OpenDNS and they have worked well at blocking unwanted content. (mainly pornography) I recently became aware that google images will display explicit images. I was planning to solve this by blocking google images. Thus far though I have been unable to locate how to block specific urls via either the Genie GUI Parental Controls or the via "https://netgear.opendns.com/account.php?device_id=....".
So my questions are;
1) Am I able to block specific URLs?
2) If yes, How?
3) If no, is this an issue with my router or Netgear's overall capabilities?
4) Has anyone else encountered and solved this problem (blocking porn images) differntly? Advice is appreciated
Thank you in adance to anyone who reviews and or replies. Keeping my children safe from unwanted web content is extremely important to me.

Hi Beantownboys,
1. You can log in to your OpenDNS account on https://netgear.opendns.com/sign_in.php and go to Account Settings > Blacklist/Whitelist > Add the URL or domain.
2. You can also try using the Block Sites feature. Check the link below for the steps.
