asked on

blocking a website from a router thru parental control

i called verizon (router)- they said they cannot block a website for a android device, but they can block websites for any laptops/pc.. because there is a setting on android that has to be set for the verizon router to be allowed to control if a website is to be blocked on the android through parental control. in general, they said androids browsing a little different to be able to be controlled from parental settings.. what setting might that be?
the verizon router is  GT704-WG-B

paul, they are phones:

 Concord Android Phone & samsung exhibit t679.. they connect to the home router thru wireless  just like the laptops .. there is a parental control module for the router.. it blocks fine for laptops, but not android..

the router is for DSL.- wired and wireless

>> I don't know why the router's firewall can't block the traffic, but we need more information.

that is why i asked verizon.. and they say it is a setting on android!!?

i can get the app you are referring.. but that still leaves the old 'browser', right? i prefer it to be seamless regardless of the browser.

OPENDNS- is it a software? what exactly will it do and how is it positioned in relation to the router? thanks-
