I'm new here and this is my first post. I'm a 75 year cancer survivor living in Mexico and I'm trying to setup my new RT-AC56U DD-WRT Express VPN router.

Question: I have 3 Roku3 devices and I add "Private Channels" Roku sometimes hits or takes them out of service if they think there's copyright violation.

Does my new router listed above have the capability of "Blocking" or Filtering there url?

Thank you for any responses.

well, DD-WRT you can block IP or Range of IP's using IPtables commands https://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Iptables_command

or you can block websites or specific DNS via DNSMasq rules
if you use it as a DNS...

Thank you for the reply, it's a little above my pay-grade for understanding.

We're told, to keep Roku from attacking the devices to add, "api.roku.com" or keyword "Roku" (without the " ) to our routers site blocking or site filter in our Firewall settings.

paste those lines in General User Interface administration>commands> paste and hit "save firewall"

iptables -I INPUT -s 52.70.81.120 -j DROP
iptables -I INPUT -s 52.5.78.167 -j DROP
iptables -I FORWARD -s 52.70.81.120 -j DROP
iptables -I FORWARD -s 52.5.78.167 -j DROP
