Web Site Blocked by NETGEAR Firewall? (Details inside.)? - Zuki - 04-08-2014 08:13 PM
Houston, we have a problem.
It seems almost every social networking site, rather, the sites I myself go onto frequently, have been blocked by the Netgear firewall. Some of the sites are: Gaiaonline, Meetme. Now, when I bought this router for about two months I never had this issue. My father came over and set it up for me, as I am not one well educated in the arts of computer-ness.
I am not sure what to do, to be honest. As of late, I have been taking the address, and using 'https'. A friend of mine came over and showed me it. Example:
Blocked : http://gyazo.com/6f8ac61d4b17682ed4beeb95c4815a43)
Able to get on: https://www.gaiaonline.com ( Though I constantly have to type 'https' every time I decide to leave the page.)
It doesn't seem to be a problem for my roommate's lap top. I'm not positive what is going on here, but I'd like some advice on it.
I decided to call upon the smartest people I knew. The people of Yahoo Answers. Please, lend me your knowledge.

your father put BLOCKS on those websites or ports.. to fix this all you have to do is reset the router to it default setting.. usually there is a small button on the back to reset to factory defaults
then if you are using the wireless capabilities the password for the router are on the bottom of it... on a sticker
