Blocking Facebook on Asus DSL-N12E-C1 Router: HTTPS Pages, IP Blocking & Open DNS Setup

Question

Welcome . Please advise how to block Facebook on Asus DSL N12E-C1 router. I read and read, and it is probably not so simple. I need to block access on two devices. I have ADSL from Netia on the Internet. For convenience, I am providing a demo page where you can enter the router settings....

This Asus will not allow it. It's too primitive. 1. If it would be only for a Windows computer then add to the file C: \ Windows \ System32 \ drivers \ etc \ hosts what is here: 2. Or as you write OpenDNS.

Facebook.pl 185.60.216.15 Facebook.com 185.60.216.35

Blocking these two addresses will not help.
The author may also be at a different ip address than the above.
Facebook corresponds to me at other addresses.
To successfully block, you must block the entire facebook address classes: https://bgp.he.net/AS32934
Unfortunately, nothing can be done on this router
Already on ddwrt you can 100% block facebook messneger script that will throw all these addresses to iptables

Thanks for the help!.
The lock on the computer using the host file is known to me, but the other device is an iPhone smartphone and is closely guarded

.
Right now at work I tried the Open DNS method and so far it doesn't open fb, messenger and snapchat. When I get home I will try again. Explain one more thing to me. How the Open DNS server will see the IP of the computer and iPhone. They will be different if the server can see only one IP of my router ?.

Your router's IP, but until you turn on your own internet on your smartphone - then you no longer block it on your phone, because it no longer refers to the wifi network only to the GSM network.

I understand, but it does not bother me because Play is poor at home with my range. In the evening I get to work. I will let you know what and how. Thanks.

I don't think that the fact that Facebook works after https affected the possibility of blocking traffic by URL filters. Have you tried doing that?

johnny5001 · Answer

No way. Even in a firewall router it clearly says that it does not block https pages. It was the first thing I did.

czuker · Answer

Is blocking in the URL filter not working in the keyword filter?
because while content filtering doesn't seem obvious, I don't see why URL filtering doesn't work.
Az I will probably check on my old router.

And I won't look in the manual

johnny5001 · Answer

See point 2 in my router's configuration. I checked it doesn't work

czuker · Answer

Look at the bookmark name

johnny5001 · Answer

I know, but url will not go either. Try at home. I finish my work, I go home and I will fight there with a living organism.

czuker · Answer

I am sorry to say that the manufacturer is right and blocking the URL in the case of pages after https does not work

I see no reason why it couldn't be done, but it doesn't work

As for OpenDNS - in the IP packet headers the server will see the public address, so in the common configuration it will be the router's address.

jprzedworski · Answer

This is a common problem on many devices. Trend Micro gives this way. Maybe it will work: Check Point also has this problem: There is no problem when the device has SSL packet inspection, but it's not in Asus - another class.

I'm closing the old topic. Everything worked for 2 minutes. I quickly worked it out by changing the DNS of the browser. Thank you for your interest.
