the access restrictions (under firewall) dont work if u have keywords or websites to block. MAC addressess whitelist and blacklist WORK!!!
Thus the internet access can be restricted by MAC blocking but, website block doesnt work. read ALL forum topics, it seems other users are also having same issue.\
Please Help!!!

My guess: you're trying to do url blocking on a site that uses SSL/https -- you can't match a url on an encrypted connection.

Can you provide a screenshot of your restriction settings?

Hi Eric, I did some testing and found that a blocking rule that blocks everything except .. works. I set up two rules: one blocks everything except urts with "face" and "mail" the other blocks only urls with "face" and "twit". Funny but first rule works:-) then I modified the second rule
from:
-A egress_restrictions -p tcp -m weburl --contains face -j CONNMARK --set-xmark 0x1000000/0x1000000
to:
"root@rt1:~# -A egress_restrictions -p tcp -m string --string twit --algo bm -j CONNMARK --set-xmark 0x1000000/0x1000000"
and it started working as well.
Yet, the question is why the rule "restrict all except ...." works?
These rules are very convenient for parents. I really need them to work.
I can provide more logs/info at request. Please let me know
Cheers,
Serge

Hi,
I am looking now for a similar solution, and also get it to work on a schedule.
I want to only allow my children access to 'games' websites, for one hour everyday, say 6 to 7 PM; preferably, only applicable to their MACs.
A working solution would be great.
Regards./
