To use keyword and domain blocking
Keyword and Domain blocking allows you to restrict access to Internet sites by
blocking access to those sites based on a word or a text string contained in the URLs
used to access those Internet sites.
Domain blocking allows you to restrict access to Websites based on the site's Domain
Name. The Domain Name is the portion of the URL that precedes the familiar .COM,
.ORG, or .GOV extension.
Keyword blocking allows you to block access to Internet sites based on a Keyword
or text string being present anywhere in the URL, not just in the Domain Name.
Note:
The Domain blocking feature blocks access to any Domain in the Domain List.
It will also block Domains, any portion of which contains an exact match to entries in
the list.
For example, if you enter
example.com
as a Domain, any site that contains
“example.com” will be blocked. Generally, you do not want to include “www.” in a
Domain Name since doing so limits the blocking to only the site that matches that
Domain Name exactly. For instance, if you enter www.example.com into the list,
only the one site that matches that name exactly will be blocked. Consequently, if
you do not include the “www.,” then all sites within and associated with
“example.com” will be blocked.
Block Access to Websites
If you wish to block access to websites, use the
Blocked Domain List
or the
Keyword List
To use the
Blocked Domain List
, enter the URLs or domain names of the websites
you wish to block.

Access Restrictions > Time of Day Rules
Use the Access Restrictions Time of Day Rules page to configure web access filters to
block all Internet traffic to and from specific network devices based on day of week
and time of day settings that you select.
Select the

Page. The following illustration is an example of the Access Restrictions Time of Day
Rules page.
Note:
The residential gateway uses the network time of day clock that is managed by
your data service provider. The time of day clock must be accurate and represent the
time of day in your time zone for this feature to operate properly. Verify that the
Status and Set Time pages reflect the correct time of day. If they do not reflect the
correct time of day, contact your data service provider. You can also adjust your
settings to account for the difference.
