How to Block Facebook Website

How to Block Facebook Website
All URL I put in Access Restriction (Internet Access Policy) have been blocked, except for www.facebook.com.
Is there a problem with my WRT160N?
Please help.
- Thanks

This model must use exact url blocking in which case blocking Facebook can't reliably be done.
If you had a dns server you could specify a bogus ip address for Facebook on your network.
I had to move to the AE series routers because the parental control is the best and blocking Facebook was easy with only "facebook.com" as the url.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

  • How to block facebook on firefox

    Can someone please tell me how to block facebook on Firefox? Windows 7

    Hi,
    I have succeeded on a WRT310N.
    Go to the Access Restriction Screen
    Enter a policy name under  the appropriate field
    Set staus to enabled (IMPORTANT)
    Click the Edit List button  and enter the PC(s) you want restricted.  If using assign IP automatically and DHCP  set the IP range that covers the DHCP range.   If you want some PC's to have access and some no access,  make the PC's you want to have access as a fixed IP address.
    Set ACCESS RESTRICTION to allow
    Set the schedule.  (You may need to create multiple policies if you want to allow it part of the time
    Enter the URL you want restricted  in this case www.facebook.com  (up to 4 sites per policy)
    Click on save settings
    Make sure that you are operating in the time frame you specified and test the blocking.
    Since this policy will allow internet access only during the schedule specified,  if the schedule was not 24 hrs,  you may have to create another policy to cover the other time.
    Hope that helps

  • How to block a website (for all devices) on an EA6900

    I'm trying to figure out how to block a website for all devices connected to my router. The only thing I can find is blocking websites by device. Please tell me that they did not take this feature away.

    welcome to the 'smart' world.  I think one of the best improvements Belkin could do is to give us back the option of the old gui. so much more useful.

  • How to block Facebook in SA520

    Hello,
    i added to content filtering URL keyword "facebook" but if i try to go to Facebook website like this https://www.facebook.com
    SA520 dont block that. What should i do?

    Hi Tero,
    Currently SA500 supports content filtering only on port 80.  You can block the https access to facebook in firewall. Perform NSlookup for facebook and create a firewall rule blocking https access to the IP addresses listed by the NSlookup.

  • I would like to know how to block a website on all of Firefox, without using parental controls.

    I remember some kind of control or perhaps an add on being advertized for one of the recent beta versions of Firefox 4.0 about blocking particular websites from all viewing on Firefox, not just as a parental control. The add-ons I saw are not for 4.0 Beta 12, the version I'm on now. Can anyone steer me to this feature, if it exists? Thank you!

    Possibly BlockSite - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/blocksite
    This one does not work on Firefox 4 but the developer is working on a new version.
    You could use the Windows HOSTS file to block sites - http://allthingsmarked.com/2006/08/28/howto-block-websites-using-the-hosts-file

  • How to block facebook "Trendings"

    Facebook seems to think it knows what I want to see, so every time I sign on they flood the screen with various articles that I really have no interest in. Is there an easy way to block this function. I notice that Google has a free download called F.B. Purity. Mozilla have anything like that?

    Guess not. Thanks!

    I use the free "privoxy" program as a proxy...it sits between my browser and the internet and can be configured to block various URLs. OTOH, it's easy to circumvent: a user could tell the browser to connect directly instead of via proxy or use a different browser. A stricter filter would be to use the built-in "ipfw" firewall (for which one can use the shareware BrickHouse as a GUI) to disallow contacting certain servers...this occurs at a more fundamental level of the network connection and can only be changed by an admin user, so the user or browser configs can't avoid it.

  • Is there a way to block certain websites from my computer?

    A website keeps saying "This website is a threat to your computer" or something like that when I go to certain websites. I scanned my computer with McAfee and it said that the website posting that was a hazard to my computer. I can't find any antivirus software (for free) to download to my computer that works (my computer says there's an error when downloading) and when I looked at the page again it had something that said "..I.. " in it and the I was lowercase so i figured that an official page would at least have all that kind of stuff capitalized.
    I just want to know how to block this website (or get a link to an antivirus download, for free, that actually works).

    Really no need to install anything to block websites, you can use the HOSTS file that is in every Operating System.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOSTS
    Just a matter of locating the HOSTS file and learning a little bit about how to add a domain or IP address you want to block to that file.

    The Access Restrictions feature of a Linksys router allows you to limit Internet access on your network.  You can deny certain computers’ Internet access or block certain applications and services.

    And how do  you want to block access to https://www.facebook.com/ ?
    It's an encrypted connection between the computer and facebook. The router cannot see the URL accessed. The router cannot know that you access a facebook URL.
