Website Blocking Firewall
With the Omada OC200 + ER605 can I block access to websites based on keywords for certain users?
For example, users who access sites with the text "free movies, netflix, torrent" are blocked from access. But that's only for certain users (if possible).

Hey
Yes you can indeed block certain websites via the firewall, its easy to do!
On the controller under SETTINGS go to NETWORK SECURITY then URL FILTERING
Create a new filter and call it what you want.. set the policy for DENY.. apply it to NETWORK then choose LAN (or whatever vlans you have) and add the URLs.. you can add more than one per policy

Hey
Unfortunately this functionality is not available on Omada. What you are looking is not really in the scope of a firewall, this would be more the task for a proxy server.
There are free Raspberry Pi proxy servers (Privoxy for example) that might be of interest to you

Ill be honest and say its not a feature I use, but if memory serves me right it did take some time / reboot when I tested it last..
Also include the non www. addresses..
eg. www.google.com and google.com
you can also add wildcards for the sub domains www.google.* for example will block all google.ANYTHING addresses
