Hello all, trying to work out how to block a website over night for every weekday.
I can see on the services option that I can Blacklist sites but how do I make that only happen between something like 22:00 and 08:00?
Greatful for any pointers
Hello,
Thanks for reaching out to us!
Our devices offer the WebFilter feature, but since you wanted to limit its use to specific times, I’ll suggest something else.But still, if you want to learn about the web filter, you can find more information here: RUTM51 Web Filter - Teltonika Networks Wiki
- Firstly, you need to find out the IP address of the website with the nslookup command.
More information regarding the command can be found here: Firewall traffic rules - Teltonika Networks Wiki
- Secondly, you just need to create a traffic rule. From the Network > Firewall > Traffic Rules section of the WebUI.
What happens here is that, if the traffic comes from the LAN zone*(for example, your computer that is connected to the router)* and tries to reach the IP address of your website*(I put 1.1.1.1 for example, please change it to the IP address of your website, which you found with the nslookup command)* the traffic dropped
-
From the Time Restriction section of the Rule, you can specify when the rule should be active for your router! I am also adding a screenshot below!
Please don’t forget to click Save & Apply after you’re done with the configuration!
Please let me know if you need any further clarification!
Regards,
Caner
Hi Caner,
Thanks so much for your reply. Sadly I’ve failed at the first hurdle as I can’t see the traffic rules under the firewall section. Am I looking in the wrong place? Have attached a screenshot.
Actually cancel that, I’ve worked it out and it seems to be working well. Thanks a million for your advice, not is very much appreciated.
