We are using a WiFi-network at a charitable institution and would like to provide WiFi-access to all of our visitors - but only to the website of our institution.

So i have blocked all categories in general in the Live Parental Controls and have set the domain of our institutional website on the whitelist. This website and its subdomains are available. Everything is fine.

Unfortunately there are still many URLs available without blocking...

Any hints from the professionals? Many thanks for any recommendation.

  Netgear LPC is not eligible for what you want to achieve, because it doesn't support a whitelist-only mode.  So you can't do it with Netgear LPC.

  You had to operate an own DNS server where only your institutional website domains are being resolved.

  Thank you rotblitz for your reply. I thought so...

  I know that i might be the only one who would need this option. Wouldn't this be worth to recommend as an option for LPC? If so, where could this be posted?

  "Wouldn't this be worth to recommend as an option for LPC? If so, where could this be posted?"

  This would go into the "Idea Bank".  But please note...

  For home users (and without Netgear LPC or with LPC disabled) whitelist-only mode is already available with OpenDNS Home VIP.  As you're an institution, you're not eligible for using OpenDNS Home VIP.  Whatever, whitelist-only mode also comes with the Enterprise versions where you are eligible for.  You may want to consider to go this path.
