We have a Netgear WNR834B wireless N-router. The problem is that its not blocking certain https sites with its content filtering and most said there is nothing much you can do that cant be bypassed with this type of router so i am looking to buy a new one. What router features do i need to look for to be able to block https connections on the router? I don’t want to block it in the PC’s for most users have admin rights. Thanks in advance.
Answer
you can’t block https unless you decrypt the traffic somehow. The whole packet is encrypted so the router has no idea what the host header it. It only see’s the destination IP and a bunch of encrypted traffic.
