Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.1

My apologies if already posted somewhere but I can't seem to find it.  I am trying to limit access to inappropriate websites from this LAN set-up (e.g. adult content).  I can see were I can create rules to block one website at a time but that isn't really practical.  Is there a way to block inappropriate content more broadly wimilar to some of the personal routers out there?

 

Thanks,

 The Wookie

An easy approach is to use DNS. There are several DNS servers to choose from. You just set the DNS server for your LAN.

 

For my kids VLAN i use Cloudflare 1.1.1.3 which will block malware and adult sites.

@flyjar 

 

Under Wired Networks and LAN, I selected the VLAN I wanted to modify.  (e.g. Kids VLAN)

 

I switched DNS server from automatic to manual and 1.1.1.3 and 1.0.0.3.

 

I will battle test it tonight to see if it works.  From their blog it says to use the following:

 

Malware Blocking Only
Primary DNS: 1.1.1.2
Secondary DNS: 1.0.0.2

Malware and Adult Content
Primary DNS: 1.1.1.3
Secondary DNS: 1.0.0.3

@flyjar under SiteSettings/WiredNetworks/LAN where you configure your LAN's. For a specific LAN, there is a DNS Server option Auto or Manual. If you set it to Manual you can specific a primary and a secondary DNS server for the specific LAN. You can also specify DNS servers under WAN advanced settings. These will be used for a LAN in Auto mode.
