want to know is there a way to block discord from router side?
the kid too addicted to discord already.....
using TM giv white router (fiberhome)
thanks

You can try OpenDNS/CleanBrowsing, but it can be bypassed, so talk to your kid is the best way.

Good luck with that... if you let your kids play game, expect them to be on discord.

Its just like if your parents trying to block you from IRC back in the days... just let them express themselves.

With a more feature-full router, you can do that quite easily but probably not with TM's default router. Another way is to block in the OS with parental controls.

i got another router
tplink AX1500 wifi 6...
but dont know how to block discord....
the kid mostly use phone/tab ....

I believe now days the newer router have built-in "Parental" option, where you can specify the time or day they can be on the internet.

Also, there is MAC filtering & Web Filtering available, maybe you can try those settings too.

MAC filtering works best with Parental control when you want to limit their internet time based on their devices, for example if you want to block/limit only their smartphone device when they are able to go internet but leave their laptop or Tab for school works.

While Web filtering as the name implies, works by filtering which website can passthru, this also works best with MAC filtering where Smartphone not allowed to visit Game server but able to use WhatsApp.

Explore around on the settings and you will get the idea on how to configure it correctly.

The most important part is you don't accidentally lock yourself out from the router, the best is to use a LAN cable for all these configurations.


Hope this helps...

manage to block using url....
the app still can open just the channel/chat cant load....

now is dont know how to block tiktok...
try all the url from google,
also still can access.....
dont want to block on device cos later she will know...
for now my reason is all those is block by TM..

tiktok app itself generally tries to bypass blocks, it doesn't respect dns settings and will directly ask Google DNS over HTTPS to ask

Great to hear that some URL is working, as for TikTok I'm not very sure but upon Googling... I found the following URL, maybe you want to add these in.




Hope this helps...

Already add those url....
Tiktok still function like normal.....

Try block by IP Address, these are TikTok's servers :-

161.117.70.145
161.117.71.36
161.117.71.33
161.117.70.136
161.117.71.74
205.251.194.210
205.251.193.184
205.251.198.38
205.251.197.195

Below are the entire range, means anything coming from 216.58.207.1 ~ 254 will be blocked, use discretionally :-

216.58.207.0/24
47.89.136.0/24
47.252.50.0/24
185.127.16.0/24
182.176.156.0/24


Hope this helps...

The router not accept ip address....
Only url....
Thinking to change back to tplink...
But all the setting....

Technicially, you need high end router with application filtering feature. You block URL they only cannot open Discord in browser but the Discord app will still functioning.


Blocking URL won't help for application. Basic router don't allow you to block by IP. Unless is firewall or high end router with application filtering or IP blocking.

No choice then, but you check whether the TPLink have whatever function you need like the Web filtering or IP filtering.

If yes, then only proceed to replace it. Else might as well get a new router with such functions.

I'm using TP-Link Omada series, on the expensive side so I got tons of features with it. Google for it & understand more whether it suits your needs & budget.


Hope this helps...

Yes, I agreed with you that some basic router may not have such features available and the URL blocking mostly works on computer and not the mobile apps itself.

Even if he managed to get the IP/Apps blocking to works, the mobile phone with its own 4G/5G data will still bypass it making the blocking being useless too.

Eventually it all goes down on Parenting-hood...


Cheers...

Right, completely stop thrm nope, just limit them playing it then yes, an hour per day maybe

problem was too addicted already...
everyday after school must chat in discord until midnight...
all work dont want do...
so need block from all type of social media...

As if we ain't turning on the pc the first thing when we got home from school back then. Even after going to mamak to chat, back home still on pc to chat on icq.

Personally I dont try to restrict them. They are free to play games or discord whatever as long as they pass their exams or completed their schoolwork (less nowadays) and finish copying/reading 2 karangan everyday.

I think getting connected is the big thing now and you'll never know what would come up from it. Just look at the bigger picture. Internet ain't used to be like what it is back then. It's now also an opportunity to pick up something new. Just look at crypto, influencer, youtuber, etc.

Heck, I even start playing crypto games just to experience what's these kids are doing online that claimed as play to earn. Some of these kids are making huge amount of money. We always said gen z are crap but there's so much more in their world now that just wasnt present in our time.
