I have a problem with my kids who simply won't listen to reason. I'm a reasonable fellow (that's my opinion), all I ask is that they do their schoolwork, revise and read books. I find that too many times Youtube is stopping them from progressing educationally despite its internet opinionated follo…

As above, on the blacklist screen, on the very right of the URL entry bar, select wildcard to block the entire domain [image]

YouTube also distributes their videos from *.googlevideo.com as seen in this thread . But if you wildcard block access to YouTube, that should suffice.

Works nicely for now. Complaints are coming in .... Summer is around the corner - lets see the grades before youtube reinstatement

Is there any feature where I can do a timed blacklist disable like the feature where you can disable pihole entirely for a given time period thru the Web UI? (I also watch youtube ....)

We currently don't have a timed blacklist feature.

No Problem - using my newshosting VPN bypasses pihole for now. Thank goodness my kids don't know about VPNs.

yet .... they will learn if they are determined

LOL. Suddenly your words, a new realisation dawns upon me .... they are my kids ergo they think like me!

I have tried all the above suggestions and I am STILL able to get to youtube. Have *youtube.com and when I go to www.youtube.com...it happily loads the page. Are we quite sure that youtube is not a virus or something? :slight_smile:
