Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out because after several searches and attempts, I can’t find a solution.
I would like to block YouTube for all users on my home WiFi network (my family, actually ^^). They often use an iPhone, so the hosts file method wouldn’t work… and it wouldn’t be practical for me either.
I saw that my bbox offers the option to configure a firewall to block a specific website, but I can’t get it to work. Am I doing something wrong? Is it not possible?
I know that YouTube has several IP addresses, so to keep it simple, I pinged a regular site to get the IP address and block it, but despite that, I can still access it. So I think I’m not putting the right settings in my rule.
Here’s a screenshot (don’t mind the settings, they’re bogus)
Let’s say I want to block IP 1.2.3.4 over https, what settings should I input?
