You're trying to restrict certain websites by appending them to a URL, like www.site.com/apple/bananana/. The issue is that your router isn't blocking the traffic properly. For a Telus modem (T3200M), you can usually set up rules in the router's settings to block specific domains or IP ranges. Check the router's interface for options related to website filtering or firewall settings, and ensure you're applying the correct rules. If needed, consider using a dedicated VPN or a third-party blocking service.

Well unless you purchase updated equipment, you're in trouble?

15 units not counting shipping and I don’t have much cash right now. No need to worry about the adapters. It’s closer to 40 CAD.

You're asking about blocking certain websites or restricting access for all users. It seems the default website filter on your Telus device isn't functioning properly, especially with HTTPS sites. You might need a network solution that sits between your local network and the internet to intercept requests. A Pi-Hole could help, but a free alternative is setting up your ISP router to use a custom DNS service like OpenDNS, allowing you to apply traffic filters.

Consider using openDNS. By signing up, you can restrict certain websites and mimic pihole while avoiding ads

For utilizing your current equipment, Cisco's OpenDNS appears to be the top choice (offering straightforward website and category blocking by adjusting DNS settings on your router and setting up an OpenDNS account). It isn't flawless and may be circumvented if users employ a VPN or switch DNS servers. However, it should work well for simple network restrictions. Also verify whether your router allows direct blocking of particular sites or categories. https://www.opendns.com/cisco-opendns/

I've attempted that, but according to the post, using a slash afterward makes it work. The modems aren't functioning properly in that case. I'm considering opening DNS or possibly getting a POH because I need an alternative method.

I don't grasp your point clearly, could you explain what you're facing? To use OpenDNS you should update your router or device settings to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, then search for "what's my IP address" in your browser. OpenDNS provides detailed instructions on their site, often with screenshots, but I couldn't locate a guide specifically for the Actiontec T3200M. You might find helpful resources here: https://medium.com/@kennethandres/how-to...a705400916 and https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/sections/206253707. If you still can't set it up, changing the DNS to OpenDNS on each device may be necessary.

I focus the operations solely on the modem. I plan to check DNS or set up a PI hole later once I have the funds.
