NETGEAR ROUTER ORBI Router Firmware Version V2.5.1.8, browser doesn't block blocked keywords

Good evening!

 

I hope to find help with the issue in our settings. Trying to block certain keywords and websites.  Unfortunately it is not working and this is frustrating. We expected this to work. 

 

Any tips?

My experience is that Orbi's keyword blocking works ONLY when a browser tries to open a web site with "http". Browsing to "https" web sites is not blocked.  Many web browsers have now been set to automatically look for an https version of web sites and connect to them instead of the http site.

 

In other words, you are correct.  It is worthless.
