NOF is not blocking Facebook when it has S inserted into http - so that while http://www.facebook.com is blocked, httpS://www.facebook.com is not. Kids can just type in that S to the URL and it works. Can NOF fix this please ASAP? Has anyone found a work-around?

Facebook wasn't being blocked at all on mine, even though I had the social networking category selected.  I went to the settings to block the specific site and just typed in facebook.com.  Then I tested it in every variation---with and without "www", http, https, etc.  It blocked them all and I got email notifications.

Hi There,

 

I am also having this issue. If the monitored account uses https://www.facebook.com they are allowed onto the site even though the domain facebook.com is blocked in the site rules.

 

Have you found a resolution for this?

 

Thanks

ANY RESOLUTION HERE??

 

I have a number of web sites on the blocked list that can accessed by simply using HTTPS, for example I have "wizard101.com" on the blocked list and "http://www.wizard101.com" is blocked but "https://www.wizard101.com" is not blocked.  This is not good.

I would also like to state that I have duplicated this problem. My son breached the security of my network. https: ports should also be closed on all coresponding websites to the URL name. Please fix quickly!
