How to find out which websites are accessed by LAN clients?
The Syslog feature provides users with the ability to monitor Vigor Router and use debugging. In addition, we can use Syslog to track browser history on the LAN. Since we want to print access to the URL log, you need to enable the URL filtering function and the DNS Filter function; however, we can use a null URL and DNS filter so that no web site is actually blocked. The following note will show how to record the sites that were accessed and save the syslog in a USB drive.
