Block Sites Help

If you want to limit access to certain sites on the Internet, you need to set up content filtering. There are two ways to filter content:

• Blocking access to certain domains (for example, www.badstuff.com/XXX)
• Blocking sites that contain certain words (like profanity or explicit sexual material).

When users try to access a blocked site, they will get a message: Blocked by NETGEAR.
