Hello everyone
1. Are there draytek routers which provide comprehensive https filtering?
2. Is this functionality still being developed for this router(Draytek 2860n)?

After paying around £200 for the Draytek 2860n, I am rather disappointed in its ability to filter https(basically non-existent as YouTube keeps getting through even though I use the WCF service. I am therefore forced to use the DNS Server but this blocks access to all users- not ideal at all)

Thanks for any help given.

Why not just create a URL content filter?

I am grateful for this post... I had no idea that this was the case!

We use the commtouch WCF to block social media & other categories & I have just tested Facebook.
Nowhere does it state that it only blocks none SSL traffic but.....

http://www.facebook.com is blocked ok
https://www.facebook.com is allowed

This has to be incorrect! I have just purchased 5 x 1 year filter licences too!

Anyone else seeing this ? Anyone opened a ticket with Draytek?

The filtering from Commtouch is for HTTP only.

HTTPS filtering requires a URL Content Filter to work as HTTPS version sites aren't categorised.

Well I have to say that that is pretty rubbish.....

Thanks for the info anyway.....

Not really. There's a reason behind it.

You could try using the above and see if it works before setting the URL content filter.

Edit - Was meant to say you could try the DNS filtering method and see how you get on but pressed Submit before doing so.
