I found this information over on the Draytek website here but i went a little further by creating a group of blocked users and also creating schedule to allow internet access between a certain time for one machine.
I started by creating a schedule original article here
I followed the first part of the article to setup the time and date and the actual schedule in the router by going to
- System Maintenance
- Time and Date
- and setting the router to use internet time and daylight savings
I then created the schedule by going to
- Applications
- Schedule
- Clicked on index 1
- I then set the start date the start time and the duration (note this is not the end time but the duration)
I then created the group of users i needed blocking unfortuatly for me they had random ip’s dotted around the range so i had to add them manually instead of selecting an range by going to
- Object Settings
- IP object
- Add the ip addresses i needed blocking
- Create a group called blocked users by clicking IP Group and then adding the addresses to that group
The next stage is to create the firewall rule to block internet access i did this by doing the following
- Go to Firewall
- Filter Setup
- Select No. 2 Default Data Filter
- Select No. 2
- Give the rule a name Blocked Users in my case
- Direction – LAN -> WAN
- Source IP – select you newly created Blocked Users group
- Further down under Filter i selected Block if No further Match
- Click OK
I then created the exception rule fir using the internet a dinner time
- Go to Firewall
- Filter Setup
- Select No.2 Default Data Filter
- Select no. 3
- Give the rule a name Allowed at dinner in my case
- Type 1 in the schedule index (we created this before)
- Direction – LAN -> WAN
- Source IP – I added the ip address of the machine than needed access
- Under filter select Pass if no further match
And that should be it this work for our particular scenario
Thank you so much!! I have been trying to do a similar task (stop teenage daughter accessing the internet all night) for some time now on a Vigor 2760 running Dray/OS Delight. I’d figured out that to restrict specific devices I needed to bind IP to Mac, create IP objects and then an IP group and I’d created a schedule but I just could not figure out how to link all the bits and use them to restrict access and unless I’d stumbled upon this nugget of information I don’t think I ever would. A lot of control on these routers but not the most intuitive of interfaces. Thanks again.
