D-Link DIR-615 :: Blocking Not One Specific Website But All Websites?
May 16, 2013
In Setup > Parental Control it is possible to set rules attached to specific website URLs. I want to block access from 1am to 6am.
However these rules only apply to websites URL. Is there a way to apply a rule to ALL websites at once? I tried to enter "*" or "*.*" in website URL field but it doesn't work.
Is there a way to block specific computers on the LAN from specific web sites by the domain name? All I can see is that if I put, for example, www.facebook.com, it will be blocked from all computers on the LAN, whereas if I want to block only 192.168.1.3 for example, I have to use the IP address through the Access Control, which is much harder and ****e to some "work around" by the user.
My company has a peer to peer network of 10 personal computers without a server. Operating systems from Windows XP to Vista. I've recently installed a Cisco RV120W Wireless-N VPN Firewall. It's configured in DHCP Server Mode with printers/copiers that have static IPs below the DHCP range.
I'm having a problem with certain stations being used for personal networking, shopping, etc. during business hours. Consequently I would like to limit internet access on these stations. However, some internet access is required because of online database software that's an integral part of our business. I've been reading in the Administration Guide about URL Blocking. Would it be possible to give static IPs to certain stations and then limit their internet access to 1 or 2 specific websites?
FYI, I've read about the Trusted Domains and Blocked Keywords but cannot quite understand how to parley this into the solution I need.
Like others I see on this board, we've got middle- and high-school age kids whose access to FB and other sites needs to be controlled/scheduled.
I thought the DIR-655 was great, in that it has features that, on the face of it, would seem to be ideal for blocking domains and restricting access.
My problem: I've never been able to get this to work.
I've set up schedules and created lists of domains that I want to limit access to according to the schedules, but the only constraint I've ever gotten to stick is blocking access completely to the router.
*None* of the schedule-based or website-based access controls have ever worked; I'll put the block in place to my daughter's computer's MAC address so she shouldn't be able to get to youtube or facebook, save, bounce the router, but then I go by her room and she's still busily chatting away online to her FB friends.
Based on similar posts I've seen on this forum, this may not be a unique problem.
So in a nutshell, this is what I want to do:
1) Block certain computers (identifiable by MAC address)
2) from being able to get to particular named domains (and any of their sub-domains)
3) according to a schedule that I can create and modify.
My preference would be to do this in the router, but again, responses I've seen here suggest that may not be possible.
For the last week, I haven't been able to access my banking web site (Royal Bank in Canada). It doesn't matter which browser (FireFox, IE, Chrome) or computer (desktop, laptop) or even my cell (on WiFi).It must be the router (DIR-825, HW-B1, FW-2.07NA) since I can connect to the web site fine if I connect straight to the modem. (Also, if I turn off WiFi on my cell, I can connect to their web site but once I turn WiFi back on, it wont connect).I tried restoring to factory settings but that didn't work.I tried some of the suggestions here: http:[url].....
- Turn off ALL QoS or Disable Traffic Shaping. Advanced/QoS.
- Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual.
- Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking
- Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
- Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall.
- Enable uPnP and Multi-cast Streaming under Advanced/Networking.
I have a dir-655 a3 router that is blocking my website ip address.I could previously access this site until one day, without changing any router settings, it started blocking communication to my website. pings, tracerts, web browsers, everything simply times out. It resolves the IP address ok but doesn't go any further than that. I was on firmware 1.31 and have now upgraded to 1.35NA, but no luck. I have also tried resetting factory defaults to no avail. If i bypass the router and plug my computer straight into the modem, the site loads fine. so its definitely the router. I have tried this on a number of devices to make sure. It appears that for some reason the router is blocking that specific IP address as it is on a shared hosting and I can't access any other sites on the same IP address. Does the router check the IP address with any web service before returning the request?
l have a web-site and when l go on it it comes up with blank page internet explorer cant load this page.l have phone talk talk and they cant fix it.l have a d-link router,its only my own web-site l cant access all other web-sites l can access.
I have two webites hosted by the same company. Yesterday I thought their server was down. To make a long story short, everyone I talk to can access the sites and I cant my hosting company says its a router problem. I contacted the service provider and reset the router but that didnt fix it. I have 3 computers on this router and none of them work to access the site. I reset the ip config, I've tryed EI and Firefox. I checked the IE diagnostic log but dont know what it means and it says:
My roommate and people he invites over keep downloading torrents from public sites and I've gotten 3 emails from Comcast so far. I've talked to him, but I want to make it impossible for him to be able to download them...
I have a Linksys WRT54G router.
I've made 6 internet access policies in the Access Restrictions settings of my router, but for some reason only the 1st policty works. I had 'torrent' as a keyword on the first policy, and when I googled most popular torrent sites it wouldn't let me... so I took 'torrent' off the keyword list and did my google search, and after I wrote down the 40 most popular public torrent sites, I added torrent back as a keyword for website blocking and saved it, but now it doesn't work for some reason. So at first it worked, then I took it off so I could search using the keyword torrent, then I added it back again and saved it and now it doesn't work.
1st policy works (besides the torrent keyword). I have all my policies enabled, have set ip ranges from 0-254 for all of them, and gave them each a name.
How come only the first policy works, and how come all the keywords in the first policy work except one after I deleted it and then re-added it?
I hope this question has not been asked here in the past, as I have googled for answers many times..I live in UAE and the ISP here blocks many sites and services which made me do the following:I have a notebook PC running WindowsXP with two connections to the internet.LAN connected to my ISP which is 30mb/sWLAN connected to the internet through DD-WRT router running OpenVPN and the speed is not that fast.hat I do now is that I have to disable my LAN and access the internet through WLAN (VPN) and have to enable LAN again whenever I need to download large files
i created a blockyoutube policy , when someone types youtube.com, system tells him he cannot access the website. But when a client types https:// he gains normal access .
I have a E4200 V1 router. A website that I have been accessing for years all the sudden no longer works. If I use my PC and PPTP VPN to another location, I can browse the website fine. If I remove the router and plug directly into my Comcast internet connection, I can browse the website fine. If I enable logging on the router, it shows the connection on port 80 just like every other outgoing connection. Security log shows nothing. I was on firmware version 1.0.03, upgraded to 1.0.05. Tried resetting to factory defaults before I updated firmware, and after I updated the firmware. The website all the sudden just stopped working 2 weeks ago. I also tried putting my PC as the DMZ IP address and nothing.
I am getting 404 messages but the browser is connecting to the site's server (you can see the little icon for each site in the tabs). The two sites I have identified that I cannot access are UIowa libraries and Music from Outer Space.
-I have emptied all cache, cookies, etc.
-I have reset the router to factory defaults and updated the firmware
-I can load both sites from other networks, however two different computers using my router fail to load these two sites.Until a couple days ago I was able to access both of these sites regularly, and I haven't installed anything or changed any settings on my computer.The fact that two different computers cannot load these sites seems to indicate that it is a router problem.
A website that I usually go to has all of a sudden stopped working for me. It is hackforums.net which I know is up because I have been on it outside of my home network. Every computer on my network will not allow me to go on hackforums.net . I have not added it to a firewall or anything. I have even set my router back to factory default and it still won't let me view hackforums.net from inside my network.
I've gone through a variety of diagnostics and I honestly don't know what to think. It's not my computer, as I can access the site on this computer on a different network. It's likely not the whole of my LAN network either, because my kindle can access the site through it. I can always access it on this computer with a proxy as well. I can ping it fine, and tracert it equally as well.I've tried everything from socket fixes, DNS flushes, getting new WAN IP addresses. When I got a new WAN IP address the first time the site was accessible once, and then it stopped again after that. I can't clone the MAC address from the router, because it doesn't allow it.
For some reason, there is a specific website that I cannot access. I am a member of the website and they have a community forum for contacting them and requesting support, but obviously I cannot contact them if I cannot access their site!
The website is [URL]. I read in another post that I should do the TRACERT command and post the results so I am doing that here.
Ever since last night ive not been able to get onto a site that i use every single day. I can get on the site through my 3g on my phone and ive tried it round my friends house and it works perfectly.Tried releasing and renewing my IP Address, no effect and have just ran a Tracert:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:UsersMatty>tracert olbg.com Tracing route to olbg.com [164.177.153.185]
I was trying to enter Minecraft but none of my browser could connect. If I connected through hidemy***.com it would load normally. When I try to join any server through the game, it gives me an error. If I change to my other network it doesn't connect, but I can if I use another OS or computer
all of a sudden my browser wont let me load this one certain site (Pwctoday.com). I think my internet is blocking it because i cant even go on my phone that is connected to my wifi. Also i have tried other browsers. Still doesn't workPS: I go on this website almost everyday. And i verified the site is working on my friends computer. So maybe my router is blocking it??

I need opening up a particular website. The website name is [url].... Apparently, using various web based ping tools to ping the website doesn't work as they all get packet loss, so maybe the website is unpingable. However, upon using a proxy server or VPN, the website does open.
Here are the steps I've tried.Used a different OS (ubuntu)- didn't work.Tried on another system, different network, same ISP and it opened. It was an office connection.I did a traceroute on this and this stopped on the 3rd hop.Used various different DNS from google, to opendns, to my ISPs dns (airtel India).Tried different browsers, didn't work. My ISP gives out dynamic IPs. Is it possible to specify routing on this website through my router?
Is there an easy way to allow specific websites access in cisco router 1841? I am trying to allow a website through access list 102 but not working. I am using access-list 102 permit ip host 192.168.21.20 host www.website.comIf i allow all websites then it works fine.
I currently use the BEFSR41 router (firmware version 1.04.06). Up until about 10 days ago I had no problem accessing websites affiliated with World of Warcraft [URL].But now, I cannot load any of these sites.Also, when I use the Blizzard Launcher for WoW, the news panel does not load. The game itself, though, loads fine.This is definitely a router issue because when I disconnect the router and connect directly through my cable modem, I can access everything with no problems.These are the only sites my router is blocking. I didn't change any settings on my router so I don't know why it's suddenly blocking things. I reset my router and that didn't work.
How to block Internet Connection during specific time.for example i want to block everyday between 8am to 12nn, then 1pm to 5pm.what are the options and better to achieve this kind of policy??
I was working for our church edit some of its website files. Now I can't even see the website. We've tried on all 3 laptops in the house. We've bounced the router, rebooted all 3 laptops and nothing happens. The message we get is "Server not found, Firefox can't find the server at www.westpinesbaptist.com."The server IS up and running - other church members can not only see, but navigate through the website, including the most recent changes that were made. (Minor things, like formatting, spelling, wording etc.
I can't access the following a specific website from any computer in my house. I am able to access all other sites. I have tried Firefox, IE, Chrome. All i get is the following error: "The connection has timed out" I called my ISP this morning, and they asked me to try adding a proxy server in IE. That is, Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings > Proxy server > proxy.tpg.com.au:3128, After doing this i was able to access the site! What could this mean?
