Thanks for your input. We’re looking into this.

Yes. You can list an IP address like 172.12.1.2, or a range in CIDR form, like 192.168.1.0/24. Alternatively, you can map the IP address to a name in the Hosts file (System Settings page).

@cjw Thanks for the additional info. We’re looking into this.

@cjw Can you look at the Internet logs to see if anything is blocked? Click the View Logs link on the parental control page. Then switch to the raw view. If any outbound traffic is blocked, it will be displayed there with the reason why.

Thanks for the additional info. Did you check the block VPN or Literal IP addresses boxes in parental control?

[support]

It’s 192.168.2.4.

Did you set up port forwarding while UPnP is enabled? If port forwarding sends incoming packets to a different internal host, then your Mac won’t get those incoming packets.

Thanks for the info. We’ll look into that.

1). On the status page. The Internet section.

2). If you run the D-Link router in bridge mode, you only need port forwarding on the pcWRT.

@lihjong What’s different between your office laptop and home PC? Is the OS different? Timezone?

Can you send a screenshot to [email protected]?

@petestav This is what I’ve been trying to tell you: when the iOS devices are on the VPN, the pcWRT router cannot limit the web sites they have access to. You may enter a white list for these devices on the router, but when they get on the VPN, but the white list has no effect. Right now the white list is blocking the VPN, but even if you get it to work, it will not have the desired effect.

[support]

@petestav Just to clarify, are you trying to limit the web sites to educational only for certain time ranges, when the device is connected to a VPN?

[support]

Are you on 1.25.2? Does reloading the page make a difference?

[support]

@Max You’ll connect the devices the same way as before. You may turn off WiFi on the Xfinity also, although the Xfinity pages might look somewhat different.

@petestav For a device with the forced VPN, the router only sees that it is connected to the VPN. The router does not know which websites the device is visiting through the VPN. For example, if you open Google on the device, the router does not see google.com, it only sees a visit to the VPN server. That’s because the traffic is tunneled through the VPN, and the VPN brings back google.com. For these devices, the router can only allow connection or disallow connection. As a result, you only need one calendar without domains list.

For devices not going through the VPN, you can configure allowed & blocked domains and set up domain specific calendars.

It is possible to mix these two types of devices in one profile and make it work, if you list the proper domains. But it’s easier to manage with two separate profiles, one for each type of device.
