Seems to be the only remaining site visited on startup as soon as I block every OTN/ads domains including 3 IPs above (except samsung.com which check available internet connection)
It really looks like versions/update.xml
I know I'm a bit off-topic but still looking to avoid recurrent smarthub updates on E

Well try I haven't seen smarthub update for months

Trying... I still often suffer them every few days, will report

Both But remember to first disable OTN Support

Don't worry, it's been the first thing I've done as soon as I've discovered this forum

Ok I will try to set these filters on my router. Thank you for your suggestion

I was trying to set those filters, but the thing seems more complex than I thought.
So these are the screenshots of my router's configuration page. Of course I know my ip and subnet mask, plus the ip addresses that you indicated me. But what about all the other settings, like protocol, source and destination port and destination subnet mask?

On my router, the rule looks like this :
Notice that I have 2 TV?s on the network .. 20.0.0.50 and 20.0.0.35

Your router seems to be more flexible than mine

Using Tomato Firmware 1.28.0000 MIPSR2-123 K26 USB AIO on a Cisco E4200 hv. rev 1

Allows me to do all the stuff I want from a router and so much more .. I recommend it.
Its speed is also better than most other (if not all) routers I have tested in the N-class.

My router is a D-Link 2740B and unfortunately it can't run custom firmwares like yours, neither dd-wrt, freewrt & co. There's only this thing http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/d-link/dsl-2740b, which to me it is pretty useless because it doesn't support the integrated modem.

This means that I can't set the ip filter because the configuration page of my router requests me the exact source/destination ports, and it doesn't accept a range.

I guess I will have to abandon the ip filter idea. Thanks anyway man

What if you leave Port fields empty? (as well as "Destination Subnet Mask", else set this to 0.0.0.0)
Isn't "port:port" a range? (e.g. 1:65535 or even 1::65535, seeing your router's documentation)
I think only outbound filter on TCP/UDP should be enough

Ok I've followed your suggestions and this is the best I've been able to do:

Isn't "port:port" a range?

I thought the same thing but in practice it doesn't work: I tried with 1:65535, 1::65535, 1-65535, but they are not accepted. Une single value instead works.

I've discovered that if I don't select the protocol, it seems to consider ALL protocols. At the same time, when no protocol is selected, the textbox of the port is disabled. In the screenshot you can see that in the port columns there is this character "-". What would it mean? Any port or no port at all? Is there any way to test if the filters that I've set are working correctly?
