Content Filtering
You have two main options for filtering content in a network created by your router.
1.
Network WebFilter Rules:
Create a list of websites that will be either disallowed or allowed. Customize the filter settings for
each network. (These rules will not block HTTPS websites.)
2. OpenDNS Content Filtering: Allows several options for filtering rules using OpenDNS, a third party service.
6.1.1 Network WebFilter Rules
Network WebFilter Rules allow you to control access from your network to external domains or websites. Rules are assigned to a
specific LAN network (or all networks). The highest priority rule will have precedence when there is a conflict. Addresses can be
added by URL/Domain name or by IP address.
Exceptions to existing rules can be created by adding another rule with higher priority. For example, if access to espn.go.com is
desired but go.com is blocked with a priority of 50, the addition of an “Allow” rule for espn.go.com with a priority of 51 or greater will
allow access.
When creating rules keep in mind that some sites use multiple domains, so each domain may need a rule added to produce the
desired behavior.
