WCF and Uncategorised sites was created by mike.smith
I have been using the WCF in draytek routers for a good few years now. Just recently I have noticed that a significant number of sites I visit are now being blocked as uncategorised. Is there anyway I can keep my previous settings but allow uncategorised sites thru?
Many thanks, Mike.

That sounds strange, not sure why they'd move a site from a category to uncategorised. Use this to check what category a site is being reported as http://www.cyren.com/url-category-check.html

As a work-around you could white list those specific sites perhaps. Uncategorised sites is it's own category so check to see if you've got that blocked or not.

Thanks for the checker Url. Unfortunately that's just not going to work, if I am googling stuff the returns are typically 80% uncategorised, it's just a ball ache to whitelist for that one time. I think they have definitely done something recently to do more uncategorised site checking. Actually thinking about it, it may have coincident with the upgrade to firmware 3.8.2.2

As mentioned by Macavity... Check you have not inadvertantly selected "Uncategorised Sites" in the WCF profile.

Not selected but it is coloured red text where the others are black.
