Hello, I need help setting up blocking access to websites.

 

Today on my network there is access via both Wi-Fi (most of it) and some via network cable, and I use the following equipment controlled by the Omada Controller:
- TL-R605 v1.0 Router
- Switch T1600G-28TS v3.0
- AP EAP 225 (US) v3.0

 

I would like to block access to social networks for most users, and leave it free for only 4 users (marketing team), however I have found problems in doing this through Omada.

 

When I go to Network Security > URL Filtering the blocking is done for the entire network, and when I create another rule releasing only for a few IPs, it is ignored. If I reverse the order of the rules (allow and then block), it ends up being free for everyone.

 

How can I solve this, and have the release of social networks only for users who are part of the marketing team?

You can try to add an IP group like this,  /32 means only this single IP.

And then on URL filtering use IP group as source type.

If you have this setup via VLANs then you could block it a network level..

 

example below I have a deny on Facebook for CCTV and IOT   anything else would be allowed.   That help you any?

@Virgo I setup an IP Group like you said, then in URL Filtering I select the IP Group and it worked.
