Need Block List

.Kencs · 21 Jun 2010 at 19:48

I have decided, with the other topic I started regarding blocking a port and capping bandwidth for my netgear, I have decided to use the Block Sites feature within my router.

Someone told me there is a Block List online somewhere (cant find it on google)...Does anyone know where to find a list of words to filter via my router?

The 2 types of content I want to block are Adult sites and torrents. He doesn't know how to use Proxys so I'm not bothered about that, I just don't want him downloading anything and gettin me into trouble. I have blocked a few words which come up as BLOCKED if using google but I need to know a list of blocked sites/words lists...any help wud be appreciated

Am I doing something wrong, it says to add keywords or domains so I have added the domain I want to block (torrent site) and have tried http:// with and without the www. but it still lets me access the site, if i type the keyword in google, it blocks it straight away...

I have added words to my router block sites list, so now i get an email alert whenever it gives them the blocked page...BUT it doesnt be specific.

for example, and I know im not allowed to advertise any sites on here so il use an example:

http://www.example-link.com

I place that in my router block sites list, but it STILL allows access to it...does anyone know why?

From what I remember of my Netgear, you don't just add a site to the block list, you have to set a schedule for the block to be applied as well, and possibly even set the IP range it is to apply to, and even then I 'think' it needs a reboot to become active.

Thanks...It now works
