Title: Block subdomain
Post by: krism23 on March 22, 2011, 12:43:08 AM

I know I can configure my dir855 to block full websites. But is it also possible to block just some subdomains of a website?

You might post this question to one or both of the moderators and see. Interesting question.

You list the most inclusive domains such as example.com to include all of foo.example.com and bar.example.com.  It should then allow you to create a deny policy for foo.example.com only, allowing anything not specifically listed, such as bar.example.com and everything else at example.com.

I don't really understand what and where I need to configure this. Can you please explain a bit more?

Under Advanced->Access Control.  Enable Access Control.  Then add a Policy.  This specifies the systems, and times when the systems, are to be restricted.  Add the IPs or MAC Addresses of the machines to be controlled.

Then, under Advanced->Website Filter, add the specific domains you want blocked (or allowed, note the filter pulldown).
