Blocking websites
I have spent the better part of two hours looking throughout the xfinity forums trying to find out how to block certain websites from being accessed on my wifi and connected devices. The majority of the pages are vastly unhelpful. I am under the impression that the only (and probably best way to do this) is to access the admin settings via the 10.0.0.1 sign-in page. However, I have an Xfinity Gateway (Model: XB8) and therefore, I do not have a login to this page?
Since I have an xfi router, I am supposed to be able to do this somehow via the 'Parental Controls'? But there is no way for me to edit these parental controls, and supposedly these only apply to search engines by turning on the appropriate 'safe search' feature for that search engine.
Can someone please help me out? Where could I find my admin login (If I even have one) to the 10.0.0.1 page? I think that would be the best answer for my problem, but I may not have that luxury?
Also, please do not post any links to other pages. Xfinity constantly moves the contents of its site around, so any links that are posted (Even ones on other community responses for this issue) do not work and do not provide any actual help.

If Advanced Security detects a known threat targeted for the device with Port Forwarding, DMZ settings enabled or UPnP open ports, it will block all traffic coming from its open ports as a measure of protection until the security risk is averted. If you are unable to access a device from outside your home network, you have two options:
