Block websites on TP-Link MR3420

[OGroteKoning]

Can someone please help me to block certain websites on the router. And yes ... i kinda need an idiots guide. All devices connecting either wireless or with ethernet must be restricted. Thanks in advance!

I don't think you will be able to do this on the MR3420.

Parental control will allow you to specify a list of sites to access, but not a list of sites to be denied.

Doesn't look like you will be able to define a list of blocked sites only, while still allowing access to all others.

Thanks ... i thought so. I will ask the guys at Uniterm for asssitance.

Either get yourself a Mikrotik RB - a bit more complex to setup or set yourself up with an opendns account to block categories.

I found the following website http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?articleid=273
Tested and it works fine.

Good to know.
Nice find!

Of course, the clever ones will just bypass this with something like http://anonymouse.org/ or any of the other anonymous proxy services out there.

Yes, I could do it so much easier on my Intellinet and in the basic abilities of any router should be an option to block sites. It's just a bit of a schleb on the MR3420.

Sorry, just added that bit about anonymous proxies.
