ASUS RT-N66U - How to block specific sites?

[Renecek]

Hello,
I need to block access to Facebook asap. Is there any way?

Tried:
Firewall - URL filter - enable - added word facebook but it doesn't work, I can access to facebook..

Need to block FB in whole LAN for all computers.
Thank you.

Reboot your Test-PC: The name resolution is cached on the PC and therefore the rule is not triggered as it does not ask the router for "facebook" anymore...

Tried restart my both computers and iPhone, facebook still works and I can open it

OK. Did you read this:

2. Https webpages cannot be filtered.​

and the try to open Facebook and look onto the URL...

so there is no chance to do that right?

logon too your router via ssh and add a file called at the following location

/jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add

in that file place the following text

addn-hosts=/jffs/customhost

next create another file at

/jffs/customhost

with the following text

127.0.0.1   facebook.com

next restart the dnsmasq service via

service restart_dnsmasq

now facebook should resovle to localhost

That seems rather involved. You could just as well create a single file and achieve the same result.

/jffs/configs/hosts.add

127.0.0.1   facebook.com

true both are acceptable
