Blocking Access to Internet Sites

The WPNT834 router allows you to restrict access based on Web addresses and Web address keywords. Up to 255 entries are supported in the Keyword list. The Block Sites menu is shown in the figure below:

Figure 5-1

To enable keyword blocking, select either Per Schedule or Always, then click Apply. If you want to block by schedule, be sure to specify a time period in the Schedule menu. For scheduling, see Scheduling When Blocking Will Be Enforced.

To add a keyword or domain, type it in the Keyword box, click Add Keyword, then click Apply.

To delete a keyword or domain, select it from the list, click Delete Keyword, then click Apply.

Keyword application examples:

If the keyword "XXX" is specified, the URL <http://www.badstuff.com/xxx.html> is blocked.
If the keyword ".com" is specified, only Web sites with other domain suffixes (such as .edu or .gov) can be viewed.
If you wish to block all Internet browsing access during a scheduled period, enter the keyword "." and set the schedule in the Schedule menu.

To specify a Trusted User, enter that computer's IP address in the Trusted User box and click Apply.

You may specify one Trusted User, which is a computer that is exempt from blocking and logging. Since the Trusted User is identified by IP address, you should configure that computer with a fixed IP address.
