Parent control Web filter and Blocked content does not work
Parent control Web filter and Blocked content does not work
2024-10-10 22:27:53
Model: Deco M9 Plus  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.6.4 Build 20240718 Rel. 76925

I've follow up this link to setup content filter

 

https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1598/

 

It doesn't work. I've even try set the web filter to Child (0-7), but it looks like none of the webpage can be filter. 

 

When I select the profile, I can see the Top Visited Websites/Apps have the word (Blocked) next to the web that I block. But it does mean nothing as in his device he can still access the web.

 

e.g. I've block his facebook, I can see from the top it say Facebook (Blocked) 48m.

 

Anyone have a solution on how to make it work?

There are some more research before I raise this post, I am not sure how true it is. 1) According to below thread, the web content filter never work! (I really hope that is not the case) https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/589364 2) According to below thread, there is a bug and it fix in some new firmware version. (But the one it mention is not my deco model, and current I am already using the latest model) https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/619056

Hi. Welcome to the community.

I noticed you had the Deco for a while. Did the web filter issue start recently?

 

The Parental Control web filters don't work over IPv6, please make sure IPv6 is disabled under Deco APP>More.

After that, please clear the browser caches and test again whether you can access www.facebook.com.

Thank you very much and best regards.

I never use this feature before. But recently, I notice my kids are very additive to social media, hence I am trying to explore some way to limit their usage. I am not use IPv6 . It is current disabled.

Btw, I really feel the device must know that the website need to block. As in the top most visit website I can see it is Facebook (Blocked), Instagram (Blocked). But it is just for some unknown reason with the laptop Edge browser it is still able to load up those page.
