Northernalex Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hi. Installed an XR300 on my home network yesterday. Seems like a nice piece of kit that's really improved my wifi speeds and lag on my xbox. Much better than the Virgin Superhub 3. However I have a couple of newbie questions 1. When I'm using "content filtering" to block a website - I've added "www.bbc.co.uk/xxx.html" "bbc" and "www.bbc.co.uk" as keywords but none of the devices on my network have any issues connecting to these sites. Am I doing something silly? 2. On the DumaOS site it says you can add r-apps and I've seen a one called Hybrid VPN that looks great. How do I find r-apps to add? 3. Logs. THe tooltip says it logs the website that are accessed, but if I access bbc.co.uk, it doesnt appear in the log. I'm a little new to messing with routers so I'm not sure how logs are supposed to apear. Many thanks Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hey, welcome to the forum! To answer your questions: That feature is for HTTP only but as most websites now use HTTPS I don't think this feature will work as well. You may be better off using DDNS for now until DumaOS 3.0 arrives. That feature isn't available for the XR300 at the moment, the ability to add new features will come with 3.0. I've never seen the log file doing that specifically but when it does reference connections being made this is shown using an IP address rather than a URL. I would recommend you sign up for the XR DumaOS 3.0 beta here: http://www.netgearinnovation.com/dumaos-beta/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernalex Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Also, further question - in the list of installed r-apps, I can see "process manager" and "r-apps store" but these do not appear in the list of r-apps at the left side of the dashboard. Any ideas? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernalex Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Fraser, many thanks. Will investigate DDNS and DumaOS 3.0 beta. Thanks again for your super quick response. Much appreciated A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 10, 2020 Process manager governs backend processes so won't be made available for interaction and the latter will be in 3.0. You're very welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
