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.
Configuring Parental Control Time of Day Access Filters
Use the Setup Parental Control - Time of Day Access Filter 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.
Note:
If you are not familiar with the settings detailed in this section, contact your
service provider before you attempt to change any of the residential gateway default
parental control settings.
Click
Time of Day Rules
in the Parental Control section of the Setup page to access
the Parental Control - Time of Day Access Filter page.
