I'm trying to block the access to certain websites using the Website Filter section from Dlink DIR-300 Admin (Firmware 2.14, Hardware Bx which is the latest).
It works for any keyword, except for facebook.
I can access www.facebook.com, but I can't access the URLs that contain facebook.com in their URL, but have different domain. (ie www.randomname.com/facebook.com).
What I've tried:
to restart the router after I added the settings
ipconfig /flushdns
tests from different browsers
clear browser cache
So how can I really block facebook using this solution?
Update I could block the access to the mobile version (m.facebook.com), via http. However, when this is accessed via https, then facebook is accessible. The problem is the admin interface doesn't allow me to explicitly set this entry https://www.facebook.com.
I just realized the same problem is with YouTube which is also using the https protocol. I tried with other websites that use both HTTP and HTTPS. The HTTP pages are blocked, but not the HTTPS pages.
