System Logs

The router automatically logs (records) events of possible interest in its internal memory. If there is not enough internal

memory for all events, logs of older events are deleted, but logs of the latest events are retained. The log options allow

you to filter the router logs so you can easily find relevant messages. This router also has external Syslog Server support

so you can send the log files to a computer on your network that is running a Syslog utility.

Auto Update

: The logs automatically refresh

whenever the router creates a new message.

Update:

Click to check for new router messages.

Clear log

: Clear the log file.

Save Log:

This will open a dialog in your browser

that will allow you to save the router's log to your

computer.

Search:

Enter keywords to find specific events.

Level:

Select/Deselect from the following levels to

filter messages by priority.



Content Filtering

You have two main options for filtering

content in a network created through

your MBR95.

1)

Domain / URL Filter Rules:

Create a list of websites that will

be either disallowed

(facebook.com, for example) or

allowed exclusively (your

company’s website, for example).

2)

OpenDNS Content Filtering:

Allows several options for filtering

rules.

To create

Domain / URL Filter Rules

, simply input one or more website domain names or URLs. By default, these

websites will be disallowed as part of a Blacklist. You can change this to a Whitelist to exclusively allow these sites.

Enable Whitelist:

By default, Domain / URL filters allow you to

block

access from your network to any external domain or

website. Enabling this as a Whitelist instead will allow access to only those sites in the list, blocking all other websites.

Some sites use multiple domains, so each of them would need to be added to the list to get full site functionality. The

default behavior enables the Whitelist for URLs only. Select Filter by IP Addresses to use IP addresses with the Whitelist.

Filter by IP Addresses:

Enabling this will cause the router to block/allow URLs by the IP addresses they point to. This

option will also force all DNS traffic through the router to ensure the correct IP address is returned during a DNS lookup.

Using IP address filtering with URLs is not recommended

. Some URLs do not return all valid IP addresses with DNS,

so these may be missed. Another possible problem is that example.com and www.example.com refer to the same website

but may return different IP addresses.
