    Skynet Blocking lots of car detailing websites + more

    Skynet is blocking quite a few websites for me (mainly UK websites) such as car detailing shops etc. Not sure why and I'm pretty sure it never used to do it. Any idea how to block all traffic outside the UK, or unban all traffic in the UK easily?

    Can someone confirm if country blocking china would stop trendmicro protection working? I think that's where their servers are based right? Or am I completely wrong. I just keep thinking I am borking trend micro protection with a CN block and would like someone above my monkey IQ to confirm.

    Block All DNS Except

    Is there a way to block all DNS on port 53 except for a specified device? I looked at SkyNET and the Asus WebUI and didn't see anything that really fit the bill. I could really just block 53 across the entire LAN since my DNS server uses 443 for DNS requests. Thanks,
