Deco M4 is blocking isthereanydeal
Hello. Since I update to firmware 1.70 I cant access isthereanydeal (site list of game prices). I tried everything (DNS, resetting, direct access). When I connect directly to my ISP I can access the web site with no problems. Since the update I need to use VPN if I want to access this website. What is going on?

Hi, thank you very much for your time and patience.
The firmware downgrade from 1.8.0 to 1.7.0 needs to be via firmware recovery. Usually, it is not suggested to downgrade the firmware as the new firmware often adds some security fixes to the previous version, so the release note highlighted that the firmware can't be downgraded.
Were you still unable to access https://isthereanydeal.com/?
As this is the first time I've received this feedback, it is too early to say the blocking was due to Deco.
If the laptop works, maybe you can try to clone the MAC address of the PC on Deco to see whether it helps:

Okay, I understand that after updating your Deco Mesh firmware to version 1.70, you are unable to access the website 'isthereanydeal' unless you use a VPN, while direct connection to your ISP works fine. Let's troubleshoot this issue together:
1. ISP Issue Check:
• Since you can access the website when connected directly to your ISP, this suggests the problem is related to the Deco Mesh network and not your ISP.
2. VPN or Proxy:
• Ensure that there is no VPN or network proxy enabled on your device when testing access through Deco. Sometimes, these can interfere with website access.
3. DNS Settings:
• Open the Deco app, go to MORE > Internet Connection, and change the DNS server to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8. After updating, reconnect your device to the Deco network to make sure the new DNS settings are applied.
4. Antivirus/Real-Time Protection:
• Some Deco models have an 'Antivirus' or 'Real-Time Protection' feature that might block websites considered potentially malicious. Please check the Antivirus or Real-Time Protection history in the Deco app to see if 'isthereanydeal' is listed there. If so, you may need to whitelist or unblock it.
5. Parental Controls:
• Review the Parental Control settings, including content filtering and website blocking, to ensure the site is not being blocked.
If you have tried all these steps and still cannot access the website, it may be an issue introduced in the latest firmware. In that case, please contact TP-Link support with details about your Deco model, firmware version, and troubleshooting steps you've already taken.
Notes:
• If you need to update or downgrade firmware, refer to the firmware update FAQ for instructions and limitations.

Hi, would there be any error message when you failed to access https://isthereanydeal.com/?
Have you set any parental control profiles for this device?
By the way, 1.8.0 Build 20250721 Rel. 49216 has been released for Deco M4_v1/v2. It is also suggested to update to the latest firmware.
Wait for your reply.
Best regards.

@David-TP Hello David, there is no parental control enable, I already tried to seting DNS from google and opendns. There is no antivirus on my Deco M4.
