Setting Up Website Blocking on WRT310N Router

I need some help setting up website blocking.  I have set up access restrictions for selected times and days but I also want to set up access restrictions for webistes.  Perhaps I'm just not clear on how this is supposed to work - I created a policy called 'Site' and then enter the URL in the website blocking area.  The options under the 'Access Restrictions' area are either 'Allow' or 'Deny' - intuitively one would assume the selection should be 'Deny' since this policy is to block access to specific URL's.  However, if I click 'Deny' and then save, then the URL's I just entered are cleared.  However, if I select 'Allow' then I am essentially giving 24hour access every day to my computers (but blocking the URLs), which then seems to go against the access restrictions I set up for selected times and days.  Perhaps these two policies are mutually exclusive but it does not seem clear that it is.
Can someone give me some guidance on how this is supposed to work because it just does not appear to be intuiative to me - FYI, I'm somewhat technical but I must be missing something here.  HELP!

You need to create 2 different policies. The policy for hours/days should be separate from the website blocking policy. For hours/days, you should select “Deny” and select the time or day that the computers would not be able to access internet. Click save settings. After doing so, create policy # 2, put a policy name, select allow, check Everyday, check 24 hours and in the URL boxes, type the website you want to block. You can also block by keyword, just enter the keyword in the “Website Blocking by Keyword” boxes. Click save settings after. Now you already configured 2 policies that should work hand in hand.
Note: You should enable the 2 policies setup.

  • Website Block on wrt610n Router

    Hi sir ,
    i would like to a ask a step how to block a specific website with a specific time (office hours) for example "facebook" i want to block facebook within 8AM - 12Noon then 12-1 they can access the website, then 1-4 block again the website . thank you

    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.
    Here is the link for setting up Access Restrictions on a Linksys router: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=20b29e54474a4a17aff594cb659747ea_4041.xml&pid=80&r...

  • Website blocked behind router

    There is a website that I was accessing just fine up until this Monday. Now all attempts at access to it time out. Pings of the site time out and a tracert gets to the hop right before the site and then it times out. This happens for any computer in my house. I'm using an E3000 router.
    If I connect a PC directly to my internet providers box, bypassing the router, I can get to the site just fine, I can ping it, and tracert successfully hops its way to it.
    I've rebooted the router and looked all through it but I can't find any reason why I can't get to this website while behind the router. I hadn't changed any setting on the router in months so I never suspected it was the problem until my ISP had me bypass it.
    Any ideas of what might be going on and how to fix it? I work from home and this site is one of my company's customers so I can't do any work on the site which is not good.
    JL

    Ping test the site directly connected and connected through the router. See if both pings are going to  the same IP Address.
    Also do tracert command to the website direct and through the router. Usually with this issue they take different routes to the website.

    Those sites have a random connection and DNS entries. Your best bet would be to use a DNS servcie like DDNS.com or OpenDNS.com service. Point your router to one of those DNS services and there DNS addresses, then set up one of those services to block FB and Twitter. If you use there DNS addresses on your router instead of the ISP DNS, and you block FB and Twitter, users should beable to get to FB or Twitter after that.

  • A specific set of websites will not load.

    Operating a Time Capsule behind a cable modem, I now find a very specific set of websites (those that I manage) will not load.  We had a power outage yesterday which did something to my home network I think.
    I have rebooted modem and Time Capsule a number of times.  I have tried access from 2 mac mini's, one iPad and one iPhone.
    IF I direct connect a mac mini to the modem with a cable, I can access the sites.  If I leave the house and work on another wireless network, I can access the sites.  I checked the sites from that network -- they are NOT blocking any IP's.
    If I try to access the sites through the Time Capsule, I cannot.
    I think I just (inadvertently) did a full reset of the Time Capsule -- I had to re-define my network.  (Although it seemed to remember some things ...  )
    SO, I have concluded there is something with the Time Capsule and likely DNS that is preventing my access.  I tried simply changing DNS to public DNS servers (like Google) but that did nothing.
    Best thoughts on how to overcome this?

    Your best bet may be to purposely reset your TC to factory defaults and then set it up again.
    One thing to try from within your home LAN to see if DNS or connectivity is a problem is to simply open a terminal and "ping" the IP address of your webserver.  If you can ping the webserver by IP then you are able to reach it on the Internet.  Then try to ping the webserver by fully qualified server and domain name (i.e. www.example.com).  If ping resolves the name to the IP of your web server then you are fine with DNS as well.  If either of those basic tests fail to resolve the server and receive a reply, then you indeed have some other issue with your TC or internal network.

  • Why can't I just right click on the thumbnails and set the websites I want?

    I love the thumbnail idea, but why can't I just right click on the thumbnails and set the websites I want?
    Why do i have to wait for a recent one to come up?
    Of the 9 available, I would like to set 6 to website i can input by right clicking it and leave the rest for the recently visited.
    I ho[e you include that feature in your next update.
    Thank you
    P.S. 2 more issues
    1. Firefox is the only browser that always give me trouble attaching files in gmail. I still use firefox for all browsing but for mail attachments, I use others. And yes, I have done the "Clear cookies, reset, reinstall, clear cache, etc etc etc... none worked for more than a few days. no such problem with other browsers.
    2. Your new updated search bar (Top right hand corner) is nice but can be very irritating for the following reason:
    I like to highlight - copy (a word or phrase) - and paste it in the search bar. was fine with the older version, but now as soon as I right click to past, the menu pops up for me to select a search engine. Very irritating since I have yet to paste the copied word or phrase. I rather paste it and then have the option to click on the drop down menu. If you see this as not something masses would want, please place an option in setting for us to stop the suggestion for search engines coming up automatically when we try to right click in the side search bar to paste.

    You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.
    You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
    Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
    *browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile.
    *browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile.
    So you can reset those prefs via the right-click context menu to reset changes made to the about:newtab page.

  • Blocking on a Router

    I have enabled blocking on a router to fire when a certain sig fires. this has been working for a while, I can see the ACL on the router with the host being denied access,so I know that it has been working. The sig fired today and the host was added to the ACL on the router - so it should be blocked, right? After I verified that the host was added to the ACL on the router and through the IDM I still receive e-mails on this sig firing with the same host that was supposedly blocked when it first came in. Does the IPS still log events if though the attacker is being blocked?

    Once the host was added to the ACL I was receiving alerts 10-20 minutes after the fact.
    When you setup a router for the IPS to manage and you put in all of the login, IP and ACL info. Is there anything you have to do to make the ACL active on the router to deny or allow traffic? The only thing that I can think of is to assign it to an interface on the router but that was done when setting up the blocking device through IDM right?

  • How to Set Up Content Blocker to Block All Sites Except Those That Are Listed?

    How to Set Up Content Blocker to Block All Sites Except Those That Are Listed by Firefox?

    One other item I thought I would pass along...
    I noticed that the NVG589 gets terribly confused if a device behind it isn't setup properly first to be a static address.
    Here's the behavior: Say you have a router of your own and you intend to give it one of the addresses from your static IP block. You decide to set it up first and don't make the changes initially in the 589 to force it to be a static IP of some kind-- whether in the private or the public block. You configure the router in this case with DHCP. Your router starts handing out addresses in its own IP range however your configured it.
    But look what the 589 thinks is happening: it sees the DHCP client name associated with the same MAC address changing constantly. It makes entries for each different client name in its device list, sometimes aging out, sometimes not.
    Now trying to save the private IP will result in a "missing data" error. Worse, trying to change things to a public static IP will result in similar messages about the IP being in the wrong range.
    The same issue can also occur if the device was setup statically in the private range and you try to change it to a public static IP.
    The only way to fix this:
    1) If you intend to advertise the router on an IP from your static block, disconnect all devices from the router and the RG, except for the router you want to setup. Wait for the RG to see them as "offline" in the device list. Alternatively, if you intend to setup another device or server on a Static IP, make sure it is the only device connected to the RG.
    2) Switch the IP allocation to "Public"
    3) Renew the lease on the device
    4) Go into the IP Allocation page and fix the IP to one of the public static IPs from your pool
    5) Reconnect all devices.
    Generally, the best practice is to setup each static IP device before connecting any others to the RG.

  • Extending range of Linksys WRT310N router with Airport Express 802.11n

    I am trying to extend the range of an existing wireless network set up with a WRT310N router with an Airport Express 802.11n - I've tried choosing both "Participate in a WDS network" and "Extend a wireless network" and both have run into problems.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks, Amy

    amysinsh, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Sorry but this is not possible.
    It would be possible if the wireless network was created by another AirPort Express (AX), anAirPort Extreme base station (AEBS), or a Time Capsule.

  • Problems with WRT310N router

    Ok so Im having troubles installing my router, Ill just tell you whats what first off to get things out of the way.
    The PC in our office was where the router is situated so I had upgraded to the WRT310N Router maybe 6 months ago, it had 1 PC hardwired to it from the basement and a wireless connection to a laptop(so 2 desktop PCs and a laptop). Some minor problems with the wireless connections but I wasnt too concerned as its used in my music studio. Recently the computer in the office had died so thats where the software for the router had been installed, the connection worked fine for the PC downstairs as with the laptop, heres where the trouble comes into play.
    So I had decided to install the software for the router on the downstairs PC, as soon as it gets to the "plug it into the wall outlet" screen it sits there then reports that there was a problem with it by either me having my old router hooked up or a "bad gateway(optional or something to that effect)". At first I thought maybe it was because I had set up a static IP and forwarded my ports in the router settings through 192.168.1.1., I then reset it back the factory settings but now Im stuck. I figured maybe I should install the LELA to access the update tab but couldnt.
    So now my router is nothing more then $100 paper weight due to myself not finding anything relatable on the forums. I had thought updating my network cards driver...nothing, I downloaded the firmware for the router...I have no idea on what a .bin file is nor are there any instructions on how to install it or waht to do with it, all I could come up with was that it can regonize a connection but theres no internet connection being allowed. Any ideas????
    Also my ISP cant do anything

    My ISP is Shaw Cable and I live in Canada, the only thing I can think of is that I had reset it back the factory settings but even out of the box it worked.

  • Trying to set up BEFW11S4 as a "slave" router/access point

    I want to set up the BEFW11S4 as a router and access point in the opposite corner of the house from the main wireless router. My main router is address 192.168.1.1, and I configured the BEFW11S4 as 192.168.1.2, with a different WEP key and turned off DHCP, so the main router will hand out addresses.
    I am not able to ping the BEFW11S4, nor can I access it with IE. I have a CAT5 Ethernet cable going to the WAN port, and configured the WAN address as 192.168.1.1. I also have an Ethernet-connected PC to the BEFW11S4 and can't see it nor ping it.
    What should I do to make this work?
    Thanks,
    Rocky

    you need to connect the 2 routers using regular ports. example, from port 1 of main router going to port1 of befw11s4. do not configure the wan ip of befw11s4 anymore. it should only be set to "obtain an ip automatically".

    Hi,
    You can try TCode V.00
    This transaction when executed will give you the list of all the sales documents blocked for delivery per sales organization. There are various other criteria which might be useful. This transaction will allow you to edit each sales document.
    If this is not the one that you want, then perhaps you might have to develop one.
    Thanks

  • Can i set particular website loading slow?

    i need to set some website loading too slow , is it possible ?

    Hi, if one site is slow to load try Ctrl + F5. If that doesn't do it, open Options (cog wheel) - in the 3-bar menu unless you've moved it, > Advanced tab (Network tab) > Cached Web Content > Clear Now.
    Hope that helps.

  • Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification

    Hi,
    Please share your experience for customization setting under General settings for material management "Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification".
    When should we use " Material is bloked at first read" and "Material is blocked when invoice is posted".
    Does it improve MIRO transaction performance if we chnage the setting from " Material is bloked at first read" to "Material is blocked when invoice is posted"?
    Thanks & Regards,
    AG

    Hi,
    Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
    Use: -
       In this step, you specify at what point materials are blocked in Invoice Verification:
       o   During the allocation phase, all materials present in the invoice are blocked.
       o   During simulation or posting, materials whose stocks are to be changed are blocked and are read again.
       o   Materials whose stocks are to be changed, are blocked and are read again when you post.
       When you post directly to a material, the given material is blocked immediately in all settings.
    Standard settings: -
    In the standard system, materials are blocked during the allocation phase.
    It is suggested to block materials during allocation phase itself, so that user has not to enter all the details and then get block error at the time of Simulation or Posting. Also it improves the performance since all these transactions need not to be carried out and system informs initially that materials are blocked.
