URL filtering does not seem to work
Hello,
So im trying to use URL filtering to block things for my kiddo. Yet, it seems that the sites just get loaded even tho they are in the deny list.
Is it required that the DNS settings of the client are configured to be the router? Because now they are pointing towards 2 PI-Hole servers.
Anyway, some screenshots:
As for testing, just one IP has been configured which is:
The new policies have been applied i have confirmed that into the application result log. Also, the IP address of my client is 192.168.5.71 as indicated.I have also ran a ipconfig /flushdns. Still, www.youtube.com is accessible.
Same goes for when i try it inPrivate. Controller version is the last version.
Also with IPgroup:Any the block doesnt work.
How can i fix this?

Hi @Naldjer
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
You might wanna use the search function on the forum.
If you have the pi-hole, why not set up the block from the DNS server? At least people from GitHub run the update of the URL. The guide I give is merely a list of the URLs that YTB might use based on the search results from Google. So I don't guarantee it would be effective on all platforms (i.e. cellphone YTB app).

A downgrade is the same process as an upgrade.

@Clive_A I have the same issue with er605. The URL filter which worked previously is now broken. I upgraded firmware through the Omada Software Controller. How do you do a downgrade through the Omada controller? I see no option for that.
EDIT: I found how to downgrade. Testing that now.
