Advanced > Parental Control > Domain Blocking
Domain blocking is a method of denying or allowing computers on the LAN access to
specific domains on the Internet. There are two available methods available to the user
to institute Domain blocking on the router. Under the Domain Blocking header in the
screen pictured above, the user has three choices, one of which is to disable Domain
blocking. The second choice is Allow users to access all domains except “Blocked
Domains”. This option is for users who wish to block certain domains from being
accessed by local users on the LAN, but leave the rest open for use. To specify which
Domains you wish to exclude from use by computers on the LAN, enter the Domain’s
URL (ex. yahoo.com, google.com) into the Blocked Domains field and then click Apply.
The blocked entry will appear in the Blocked Domains List at the bottom of the screen.
To modify an entry in this list, click its corresponding edit icon. To delete an entry from
this list, click its corresponding delete icon.
For users wishing to allow computers on the LAN access to only specified domains,
choose option three under the Domain Blocking heading, Deny users to access all
domains except “Permitted Domains”. To specify which domains you wish to include for
this option, enter the Domain’s URL (ex. yahoo.com, google.com) into the Permitted
Domains field and then click Apply. The permitted entry will appear in the Permitted
Domains List at the bottom of the window. To modify an entry in this list, click its
corresponding edit icon. To delete an entry from this list, click its corresponding delete
