Hi,
I've recently bought the above router and am using it in 3G/4G mode. The router is intended for use at a tennis club for members to access the lta site only so I want to configure Access Control. I have configured an access control rule as follows:
Enable Internet Access Control - Checked
Allow the packets specified by any enabled access control policy to pass through the Router
Host - MAC address of device accessing the router
Target - Domain of 'lta'
Schedule - Permanent
Status - Enabled
If I now try and access lta.org.uk I am redirected to https://www.lta.org.uk/ and the page fails to load. All other pages also fail to load as expected since the Access Rule should only allow access to domains containing 'lta'.
If I change the target to be 'sainsburys' and save the update I am able to access http://sainsburys.co.uk/
If I change the target to be 'google' and save the update, on trying to access google.com I am redirected to https://www.google.co.uk and again the page fails to load.
If I turn off Access Control, I am able to access lta, google and sainsburys.
Am I missing something where Access Control doesn't work for sites using https? Or have I missed configuring something somewhere?
Thanks,
Mark
