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
