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.

 

Under

I've restarted the gateway, many times, I actually set these entries up years ago and it has never worked.  Other entries use http instead of https and block fine.

Is this something special about youtube?

 

Thanks,

internet address = 142.251.215.238

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.
