WR1043ND and Restrictions "Bug"

Post by MyKey0815 »

I have installed on my WR1043ND V1.11 the newest 1.6 of Gargoyle-Firmware.

My Goal is: All devices that connect to this Routern can only go to one specific Website (http://....). All other communications (E-mail, Whatsapp, Skype etc.) must be blocked

My Steps: Goto Firewall - Restriction. Create a new 'Access Restriction' with following Setting: Block all. Only the Setting 'Website URL' is set to 'Block all except'. In the List i put in the allowed site-Definition

The Results: The allowed site can accessed.
But E-Mail, Whatsapp & Co can the user using - they are not blocked.
If I try to go http://google.de the Access is denied. But if I go to https://google.de then the searchpage will be shown and the user can use them (but only one page is allowed on this router)

My Question: How can I reach the Goals: 1) (Very important) Access only to the one allowed site and 2) (Could be) Block all E-Mail and Messenger communication

I've had very limited luck with that feature

The solution I use is OpenDNS with Gargoyle
