Hi All
I've used my 2820 for years without problems, successfully blocking keywords quite easily. We updated the firmware which seems to have wiped our keywords and the whole process seems very complicated to the extent i cant figure out how i can block sites like hotmail/facebook etc anymore. I can't seem to find a walkthough for help so wondered if any of you people can help me??

thanks
rob

Rob,

Have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S8QJHz2Rvo "Block Facebook Service via DrayTek Vigor Router's URL Content Filter"

Go to the 'Object' menu and then go to the keywords section.

Create as many keyword objects as you like. Once you have your keywords, go to the keyword GROUP section and add all of the keyword objects to this group.

Once the keywords are complete, go to the CSM menu and then the URL filter. Create a new URL filter profile and select the keyword group you created earlier.

The final step is to go to the Firewall menu and then add the URL filter profile to the general setup page. This will then capture all traffic and pass it through the filter. If you later need to make exceptions to the URL filter then you can simply add the appropriate rule to the default data filter under the filter setup page.

booyah!
