6.1 Content Filtering

You have two main options for filtering content in a network created by your MBR1400.
1) WebFilter Rules: Create a list of websites that will be either disallowed or allowed. Customize the filter settings for
each network and/or each MAC address. (These rules will not block HTTPS websites.)
2) OpenDNS Content Filtering: Allows several options for filtering rules using OpenDNS, a third party service.
6.1.1 Network WebFilter Rules
Network WebFilter Rules allow you to control access from your network to external domains or websites. Rules are
assigned to a specific LAN network (or all networks). The highest priority rule will have precedence when there is a
conflict. Addresses can be added by URL/Domain name or by IP address.
Exceptions to existing rules can be created by adding another rule with higher priority. For example, if access to
espn.go.com is desired but go.com is blocked with a priority of 50, the addition of an "Allow" rule for espn.go.com with a
priority of 51 or greater will allow access.
When creating rules keep in mind that some sites use multiple domains, so each domain may need a rule added to
produce the desired behavior.
NOTE: Websites that use HTTPS will not be blocked by these rules. You will need to use OpenDNS to block HTTPS websites.
