Can't get URL filtering to work
Can't get URL filtering to work
2024-11-14 23:45:09
Model: ER7206 (TL-ER7206)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.4.2 Build 20240618 Rel.63827

I can't find anyway to get URL filtering to work.

 

I have updated the firmware to the latest on the ER7206 and all the EAP245s on my network.

I use software controller upddated to 5.14.32.3

 

The rules i set in URL filtering seem to have no effect on any browser.

Any ideas?

Hi @fourspoons 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

What format do you use?

It'd be *.example.*

  @Clive_A Thanks Clive

 

I've tried every variation I can think of to be honest 

"*.example.abc"

"*.example.*"

 

Even keyword method and 'example' and nothing seems to have any effect.

I informed the dev last Friday to look into the issue at the same time I replied to your post.
I will inform you as soon as I get a reply from the dev.

There seems to be a problem.

 

BTW, what would be the website you trying to block?

What kind of browser do you use? Tried a different one like Firefox(a different framework from Chrome.)

What's the browser version?

I am experiencing similar difficulty with URL filtering not correctly applying in both Gateway and EAP Rules. Dispite entering every URL variation possible with * wildcards, even stand alone ' * '. Cross checked VLAN & SSID config, attempted accross multiple devices, multiple browsers & clearing cache. This fuctionality seems to be broken at the moment. Please help with any insight

 

Hardware / Firmware

ER605 v1.0 / 1.3.1

SG2008P v3.20 / 3.20.1

EAP773(US) v1.0 / 1.0.13

ER605 V1 has been EOL. I am afraid that there is no fix for this model. This is mainly an issue with the Chrome update which forces TLS 1.3. Rest of other models that are not EOL have been updated with this fix.

Hi Clive What about the ER7206 v1 that I have. Is that EOL as well? I noticed that the latest early access firmware is only for the V2.

Hi @fourspoons 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

See the EOL:

TP-Link End of Life Products

I recall your model has a firmware to address the described issue.
