      Not with the default Orbi on-board keyword blocker - which can work with clear text http only anyway - I'm afraid.

       

      The only way to achieve this is using some App on the end-point, like the Smart Parental Controls which comes in two flavors (Circle or Netgear Smart Parental Controls SPC) depending on your product. More and more devices will be added or migrated from Circle to SPC with coming-up firmware updates.
