My kids do school from home twice a week but the allure of YouTube is too strong, too distracting.

 

I want to block YouTube for a set time each day, I've been able to block other sites for certain periods just fine, but youtube, for some reason is not blockable.

Are you also blocking "https://youtube.com" and "https://youtu.be" ?

Notice the "s" after "http".

Thanks @mdk 

However it didn't work, I added with the IP (and also tried https://[2607:f8b0:400a:805::200e] but it won't accept that).

I tried with https as well.

No luck.
