Netgear Block Sites Keywords

Author	All Replies
TamaraB Question The Current Paradigm Premium join:2000-11-08 Brooklyn NYC ·Verizon Online DSL 1 edit	Netgear Block Sites Keywords I have a Netgear WGR614. In the "Block Sites" portion of the Admin pages they talk about a "Keyword" entry for the block list. Does this mean I can put "adserver." as a keyword, and block all access to any site beginning with adserver? Can I enter ".cn" to block access to all .CN domains? How about ".ads." to block any site with an .ads. in the name? EDIT: How about /ads/ as a keyword blocking ads directories in URLs? The help within the Netgear gives only complete domain names as examples, but the term keyword, implies more. TIA Bob -- "If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities." -- Voltaire

It seems to work well. /ads/ /banners/ banners. adserver. ads. doubleclick. all do what you would expect. I found myself wanting some wildcards however I have added a couple dozen keywords, and now I can even use IE without seeing all those annoying moving images. Firefox, with adblock, is now absolutely perfectly ad-free. Best part is when I identify an ad leaking through, it's easy to add a keyword which will block it. They allow you 255 keywords, more than enough to stop most annoyances. Bob -- "If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities." -- Voltaire

adslgeek join:2009-03-01	Hey that would be awesome to hear a list of what keywords you use, would you mind if I add your tip up on my site? Also have you found that normal ad blockers just don't work? Which ones are you using? I have some ads in rotation on my site, but they are mainly affiliate links, so I was thinking they probably wouldn't be eliminated, cause they are originated from my site, (google text ads aside). To be honest, I don't care people that don't want to see ads probably shouldn't have to see them anyway, cause they won't be wanting to buy etc.. Also how does it work against those popunder ads? Hmm lots of questions from me for a change! Cheers, ADSL Geek www.adslgeek.com/dslmodem/netgear -- I have always maintained that a helpdesk should be there to help. I maintain this preposterous notion despite the commonly held belief they are there to blindly answer calls.

daveinpoway Premium join:2006-07-03 Poway, CA	reply to TamaraB I can't say if it is true for this model, but, on other Netgear models (such as the FVS338), turning on the keyword blocking has resulted in a significant throughput decrease. You should run some Internet speed tests with the blocking on and off to make sure that you are still getting your ISP's rated download speeds with the blocking turned on.

Which ones are you using? I use Adblock Plus with Filterset.G it's very effective. Problem is it only works with Firefox (my main browser), but doesn't work with anything else. Windows media player was still filled with ads, so I started using OpenDNS Content Filtering. with Adware sites blocked as well as the following: adbrite.com adbureau.net adinterax.com ads.yimg.com adsence.sogou.com adsonar.com advertising.com affistats.com allyes.com atdmt.com atwola.com avolutia.com awrz.net bannex.com.ua bc.geocities.yahoo.co.jp bfast.com bidvertiser.com CasaleMedia chitika.net chunnel.de clearspring.com cxtlive.com dbbsrv.com directivepub.com exponential.com eyewonder.com google-analytics.com idregie.com impact.as impresionesweb.com imrworldwide.com intellisrv.js kontera.com localxml.com log.go.com marketwatch.com matchcraft.com maxserving.com medianext.com mediastorm.org metaffiliation.com narrowad.com omniture.com quantserve.com statcounter.com traffic.com web-stat.com webtrends.com yieldmanager.com zedo.com With the combination of the netgear keywords and the opendns blocks, both IE and WMP are pretty much ad free; firefox is totally ad-free. I also get hardly any more norton "tracking cookie" warnings. said by adslgeek : Also how does it work against those popunder ads? Don't know what you mean. I don't see any ads. I also have NoScript - JavaScript/Java/Flash blocker installed on firefox, so no dancing palm trees or dumb cartoons either.

daveinpoway Premium join:2006-07-03 Poway, CA	I just noticed that you are on DSL- it is probable that, even if the throughput is lower with the keyword blocking turned on, the router is still fast enough for your service. If you were on a fast cable or a FIOS connection, the slowdown might become evident.
