Configuring Firewall rules for Netgear DG834GV

Hello,

I'm trying to configure a number of rules on the above wireless router, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly - or if it is a limitation of the router that is preventing me from doing what I want to achieve.

Essentially there's two things I want to achive:

1) Block adult related websites (all the time), as well as
2) Schedule when the internet is available (10.30PM to 7.30AM Mon - Sun)

The adult websites should be blocked all the time (and I have set to 'Always' as opposed to 'As Per Schedule') I've also configured a Firewall rule that 'Blocks by schedule otherwise allows' on any outbound traffic. AND I've set a schedule of 10.30PM at night through to 7.30AM every day....

When I test the block site rule, it allows the adult sites to load. If I turn firewall rule off, then the adult sites are blocked, but I'm not sure of is:

1) If by turning the firewall rule off, will the internet will stop during it's scheduled 'black out' time. :confused: AND
2) I would have thought by selecting 'ALWAYS' in the blocked sites section, the sites would always be blocked, regardless of firewall rules in place.. but it's not .. hmmm.

Tricky to explain, so apologies if this is a little hard understand.

Thanks for your time
NP
