tried to block https://box.com / https://box.net, a filesharing site but if I  use 'box ' or 'box.net' or 'box.com' as the filtering URL it gets thru. If I use https://www.box.com (or net) it's rejected on save as a illegal URL.

Does http://box.com or .net do same thing? With out the s.

[another-dave]

I can't remember if I tried http.
I'm remotely managing the site and am longer local to try it.
I won't be back there until the end of the month.
Maybe someone else could try before then?

[FurryNutz]

I'll try on one of my routers...

[FurryNutz]

FYI, it's also good to have a remote access program like team viewer installed or turn on the routers remote access control. 

[another-dave]

I am using remote access control. But know of no way to go out thru the remote router as an onsite user; possible?

[FurryNutz]

Link> teamviewer if your interested. Its safe and secure.

Someone either will have to be there on a PC that it's installed on or have it running as a service on a PC that you have access too...

[another-dave]

thanks but the primary purpose of this client's router is to run a video dvr and a juke box that goes out on the net to get songs. With the left over capacity customers can use the wifi while having a sandwhich, coffee etc. There is no dedicated PC on the system.;( except for me, over a hundred miles away).

[FurryNutz]

You'll need to find a way to check this then. Maybe have someone there that can help you check it at the site.

[FurryNutz]

FYI, I tested your sites out on my DIR-865L which I believe has similar base code and the filter is working. I can't access those sites after applying the Web Filter and configuring the Access Control rule.

[another-dave]

what did yhou use for the filter?
I know I tried https://www.box.com and https://www.box.net and I got an error message when I tried to store them saying it was an invalid url
I tried box.net and box.com and it saved but did not block.

[FurryNutz]

I did both and both methods worked. I'll try this on my 826L as it's more closer to the 636L 626L and see if I get the same messages. There could me an issue just with the 626L.

What FW version is currently loaded?

[another-dave]

it's a DIR-626L not 636L
h/w ver:A1
s/w ver:1.03

thanks

[FurryNutz]

Did the router come with v1.03 or did you update FW?

What browser do you use to manage the router?

[another-dave]

I did a f/w upgrade to 1.03 (it came with v1.00)and did a reset using the button on the bottom of the router and checked and updated any setting as necessary.
I was using firefox v25.0.1
