Uncategorised Sites

Unfortunately some perfectly valid sites won’t have been categorised, and thus will be blocked. To categorise a valid site…

• Go to the IP address of your router using your copy of Internet Explorer (e.g. go to 192.168.16.1)
• Enter the user-name “admin” with your password
• Click “Firewall” then “Web Content Filter” on the left of the Vigor screen, which will return you to your Web Content settings, as shown above
• Click “Test a site to verify whether it is categorised”
• Enter the web address of the site to test and click “Test Site”, as shown below

If the Test Result shows that the site is not on SurfControl’s list click “Submit A Site”

• Ensure “Add a site” is selected, as shown below
• Select a suitable category for the site
• Click “Submit”

Wait for at least three working days for the request to be actioned.
