WRT54G2, FW 1.5.01 - Website Blocking by URL Causing Router to Reboot?

Has anyone seen an issue with the use of this feature causing the router to reboot frequently? Seems to be more prevalent with the amount of traffic. Router recovers but drops all wireless clients and real time protocol (voice) sessions are interrupted. I only had 3 rather short request URIs blocked--wasn't asking too much of the thing. Soon as they were removed, router was steady as a rock...
Anyone else seen the same thing/found a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Hard-reset the router for 45 seconds and try to configure the router again...

WRT 110N Website Blocking by URL

How can I deny access to a domain name no matter what they load, like this:
http://www.mydomain.com/launcher
http://game.mydomain.com/controller
http://system.mydomain.com
any of those, how can I block, every day, all day, the domain like this:
*.mydomain.com
so that it will always block that website?
I cannot seem to get the url block to work except if I make a policy with allow, but how does allow block something??
Thanks,
Richard

Ok, I updated the firmware to Firmware Version: 1.0.07 the newest one available for the WRT110
I set the following in access restrictions:
Status: enabled
Access Restriction: all ips 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.200
Schedule, Days: 7 days per week
hours: 24 hours
<script type="text/javascript">// translate_strWrite("AccessRestriction",28); // </script> URL 1: www.google.com
everything else I left blank...
Now nothing happens, nothing blocked, everything works.
What should I try now?
Thanks,
Richard

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.

Website Blocker wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.

Every time my MAC Pro starts up there is the pop-up window "Website Blocker wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
I'm running Yosemite, but the problem also existed in Maverick. This happens even before any application is started.
If I type my password the window closes but will appear again at the next start up.
Did anybody see this problem before?

I have exactly the same problem. It keeps asking for the admin password whenever I delete a file. Annoying! And guess what , after typing in the PW and deleting the file, the trash can is still empty! The deleted files just disappeared!!
So I checked my permissions, everything looked fine (i have perfect read and write rights), but i still used the Disk Utility to repair the permission, but it didn't solve the problem.
I read some article online, saying that BatChmod can crack it. I downloaded the file and tried it, well, it worked 50%, I now see the deleted files sitting in the trash can, but I still have to type in PW to delete files.....
This problem just came up today out of the blue, I'm not using any mobile disk or network disk by the way...
So anyone have any idea how to fix this annoying thingy?
Thanks in advance!

Website blocking

How do you block a website by its url. My network is being run on a befw11s4 wireless router. I need to block some websites either by url, or IP.

Hi Evanrs44, you can access your router by opening a web browser and typing 192.168.1.1in to the address bar.
Type>> admin, into the password box
Once you have accessed the router set up page, click on "Access Restrictions " tab. At the bottom of the page there will be to block websites by URL
***This is how I access it on the WRT54G, I hope it is the same for yours.
Good luck,
Ttech

How can I unblock a website blocked by Firefox?

When I try to click on a link to www.bookbub.com/ in Google Reader and feedly, I get the following message:
"Firefox prevented this site from opening 1 popup window", with an option box to either:
option 1 - "Block popups from google.com" (or feedly.com) - I want the opposite of this!
option 2 - "Edit popup blocker options"
option 3 - "Show www.bookbub.com/deals"
If I click on option 3 ("Show www.bookbub.com/deals"), this website is still being blocked.
If I choose option 2 (allow popups from google and feedly), this website is still being blocked.
So, in Firefox Options settings, the popup blocker box is now unticked - popups are unblocked - but this website is still being blocked.
This is the only site which is blocked. All links to other websites open correctly from Google Reader and/or Google Search. To bypass this unwanted block and access the website, I have to type the url in the address bar.
I would much prefer to simply open it as I do with all other websites from Google reader or feedly, with a simple click on a link.
Suggestions welcome, thank you.
Edited to add:
Same problem when clicking on a link to this website from Google Search (website blocked by Firefox), yet no such problem when clicking the link within *this* post... ?!
No problem whatsoever opening the website from any link in Chrome.

After several checks, the website appears to be blocked by Adblock Plus and/or Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon.
The message was clearly marked "*Firefox* prevented this popup" and I never even thought of looking elsewhere.
I will trawl through the filters to find the blocking rule.
Thanks a lot for the reply.

E2000 URL Website Blocking Character Limit 22!!!

I hope that this is incorect because so many sites are more than 22 characters long and you just can't block a single ip these days to seal the deal.
I mean if I wanted to block "homecommunity.cisco.com" I couldn't. I could block "homecommunity.cisco.co" but whats that going to do. Unless it detects wildcards'*' IDK?
And whats with only blocking 4 URL's? I hope thats not right either, or this routers going back to the return line. I\'ve been a customer for a long long time, but thought that I would give Cisco a shot, I hope that its not a mistake.
Any help or info on this would be greatly appreciated.

You have E2000 router.
You can install the Cisco connect software on your main computer and use Parental control feature.
Using this feature you can block up to 8 websites.

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 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.

How can I block a url from accessing my browser?

I want to block a url from accessing my browser. The url in question, djbsaqja.co.cc, flashed a pop-up saying that my computer was infected with a dangerous virus and that "Windows Security" required that I download a program to fix it.
I maintain realtime virus protection, but ran a manual scan anyway, which proved that I was clean.
The url listed above would not let me out of an unending chain of popups, demanding that I download their tool.
Instead, I opened a new Firefox session (it was the only way I could re-enter Firefox without this rogue url taking control), then cleared out my history, cache and cookies.
I'm clean...and now I'm back in control with, I believe, no damage. But since I wrote down the url, is there a way that I can block from accessing my browser again?
Thanks for the help.

You can add it to your hosts file - http://allthingsmarked.com/2006/08/28/howto-block-websites-using-the-hosts-file
Sites like that pop up on a regular basis, but will often get taken down quite quickly. I have just checked and the site appears to have been taken down.

Regex expression to block certain URL's.

Hi,
I am trying to block certain URL paths within a website. For example I would want to block any request to www.asdf.com/test/input.asp, other request like www.asdf.com should be accepted.
I tried building a regex to match test/input.asp and the regex test says match succeeded, however after applying it via service policy the URL still works. The following regex has been applied to match test/input.asp
.+\/test\/input\.asp
Where could I be wrong?
Regards

Hi Karsten,
The filtering config reads like the following:
regex Block-test ".+\/test\/input\.asp"
access-list outside_mpc extended permit ip any host 2.2.2.2
class-map outside-class
match access-list outside_mpc
policy-map type inspect http Block-test
parameters
match request uri regex Block-test
drop-connection log
policy-map outside-policy
class outside-class
inspect http Block-test
service-policy outside-policy interface outside
Its not an https connection and the configuration is on the ASA.
Regards

Access to a website with a URL ending on .exe does not work

I need to access a website with a URL ending on .exe - Internet Explorer does not have any issues but with Firefox I only get the "file download" dialog box. Is there a setting where I can prevent this behaviour?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

If I want to open the same website in a second tab and press Ctrl+T and start typing the website title or URL, why does Firefox 4 insist on switching to the first tab? Is it possible to turn this off?

I regularly need to open the same website in two tabs, to be able to view changes made between opening the first and second tabs. In Firefox 3.x I could press Ctrl+T and start typing the website title or URL, which would be auto-completed by Firefox. This enabled me to quickly open the same website in a second tab. Firefox 4 does not do this, instead it wants me to switch to the existing tab. This is not what I need.
Of course it is possible to open the same website in a second tab via e.g. a bookmark, but this takes more time and effort. It would be great if I could select Firefox's behavior in this situation.

To create a duplicate of an existing tab in Firefox 4, do one of the following:
*middle-click the icon on the left end of the URL/Location/Address Bar
*hold down the Ctrl key and drag the tab until a small arrow appears at the border between tabs, then release the mouse button, then release the Ctrl key.

Need to block rv110w access to router from wan

Is there any way to block access to the router logon page from the wan? By simply going to the router's external WAN IP, the cisco logon screen shows up? I really think this not that safe and want to block it from showing up. I have looked at all the settings and don't seem to be able to find something that will keep that from happening.
Thanks
M

Hello Michael,
You can disable remote management via Firewall --> Basic Settings. In the basis settings page there should be an option to enable remote managment. Make sure that option is unchecked.
Hope this helps.
