Hi,

How to block some websites on specified time, example I want to block facebook from 7:00am to 4:00pm. Is there any possibility to do that?

Regards

At the moment, this is not possible in the GUI but you can create a squid ACL in the configuration files.

Hi kurczak

This should work for you:

  • In [Firewall]-[Aliases] create a new alias of type "Hosts(s)" and enter "facebook.com" in the "Aliases" list
  • In [Firewall]-[Settings]-[Schedules] add a new schedule defining the blocking periode(s)
  • In [Firewall]-[Rules]-[LAN] add a new rule with the following settings:

  • Action: Reject or Block
  • Interface: LAN
  • Protocol: TCP/UDP
  • Destination: Choose the alias defined earlier from the list (facebook.com)
  • Schedule: Choose the schedule defined earlier from the list (7:00am to 4:00pm)
