[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 815816, member: 24160"] There are no settings at the router level to do this with the Apple routers. They are designed, like most Apple software to handle the chores with not a whole lot of tweaking that can be done. For me, this is the way Apple achieves their "it just works" feel. It's great for the typical Windows user that never learned how to maintain and take care of their computer. Not so good for some of the advanced users, that like to tweak every last little setting. I see two options. Parental Controls or OpenDNS. With Parental Controls you could block sites on a per computer basis. Wouldn't do anything about the Touch. Open DNS is a great service, even if you don't want a lot of their advanced features. I don't block any sites, but I (and a lot of others) have switched over to their DNS servers instead of using our ISP's. [URL="http://www.opendns.com/support/videos/"]Here[/URL] is a quick video tutorial. You can create an account with them and set up specific IP's to block. If you have a dynamic IP address (one that changes) as most of us home users do, they have a widget that can be used in the Dashboard that will automatically keep your IP up to date on their system.
