Block domain issue

Post by darrepac »

Hi,

I am trying to block all network except spotify on my child device.
I have selected "block all except" in website URL and then "Domain contains" with "spotify" in it.
It doesn't work: internet access is like there was no blocking at all.
I am running 1.10.0 version.
I read about issue with https blocking but seems it has been resolved and it should work in my version.
What is wrong?

thanks

https://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/do ... strictions
Access Restriction up until 1.10.0 only blocked http Traffic. Version 1.10.1 and above now blocks http and https (encrypted) traffic.
1.10.1 has never been released

1.11.0 RC5

I will take a look
but you mean that newer version of Gargoyle will not support WR841?

yes

4MB routers are dead

Even if you have a good router https blocking is hit and miss.

.....and this will get worse over time as technology gets better.
