whitelisting

[jogold]

sorry for my ignorance
how do i allow access for certain nodes to a whitelist only including https sites that seem to be a problem on many router based filters.
thank you

You can't because of them being HTTPS.
You could try using OpenDNS

OpenDNS presents two problems.
it needs to be kept updated to the current IP
the router in question is actually on a subnet in my house blocking only some of the computers and the WAN is actually a NAT address of 192.168.0.2
these two together make OpenDNS not reliable even when using a Netgear Genius router.

Is there no way to whitelist HTTPS?

Thanks

SSL is a hell of a thing.

Your only option left is deep packet inspection, which literally decrypts the packet, inspects it, then repackages it. This presents it's own performance limitations.
I'm also not aware of any plugins or modules that are doing URL DPI.
