Website history on VMG8825-T50 router

Ginixx

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to see what websites have been visited via my router?
I currently have a VMG8825-T50 router.

Any info or tips to go about this would be appreciated.

Hardly, and it is becoming less. Nowadays all websites are running https, which means you can't peek the traffic, so the only thing a router can see is the IP's visited, and the amount of data sent/received. Further the router can see/read DNS requests, which tell which domains might be visited. (The request alone doesn't guarantee a visit.) But you can't say if domain.com/funny_pictures/ is visited or domain.com/porn/.

Further good old plain DNS is aging, and more and more devices/apps are using DNS over https, in which case you can't even read DNS requests anymore, leaving you with IP addresses only.
