Or if you wanted to be REALLY annoying, prioritize (using GameFuel, i.e. 'QoS' to the rest of the world) Netflix to be the lowest possible traffic.  Unfortunately, it would also add the overhead of QoS to your router.  But if Netflix (or the device running it) is classified as the lowest possible class of traffic, everything else takes priority.  Ever try to watch a movie on Netflix that keeps getting interrupted because of network speed? IMAO, that's worse then just not being able to access it.  That way, they may never know the cause, if you block it completely, they'll probably figure that out eventually.

Furry,  great info.. :)

For easier clarification on where it's located:

ADVANCED -> WEB FILTER -> Under ADD WEB FILTERING RULE, make sure DENY is checked.

Then, under WEBSITE FILTERING LIST, type netflix.com (That will take care of the whole website).

Unfortunately, there is a way around that. :(  If they are computer savvy, they could use a proxy. :(
