Question by StanleyB51: How to block Poker Stars on home network?
I’m trying to block Poker Stars using blocking options of my Netgear Router. According to Poker Stars FAQ, they are using port 26002 and 443. By blocking those parts I see Poker Stars connecting slower, but it seems to be able to find its way around it. Possibly using different ports. By blocking port TCP 443 networks also blocks all web based mail services. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Best answer:

a easy to understand tut i wrote with an example of a hosts file with blocked sites.
if you choose router way.
you would need to restrict the ip of the perason accessing the site and choose block ports.
blocking a udp port 443, idk about that, sometimes update sites need’s ports open. now 443 is not a good thing to have open either.
i would use the hosts file and my tut.
