Blocking web sites

[jcman01]

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! 😄

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.
