R8000P blocked websites still working
Hello all,
I have a Nighthawk R8000P router and I am trying to block websites. I have logged into my router and under Advanced>Blocked Sites I selected Keywork Blocking to Always and entered some key words along with a few websites and hitting Add Keyword show they show in the list and Apply but there is still access to the websites. Am I missing something or does this feature just not work?

HTTPS sites can't be blocked, only HTTP ones. Your best bet is to use something like NextDNS to block at DNS level.
