Admin tool won’t block tiktok

The xfi admin tool doesn’t block websites and keywords in the parental controls function. I have keywords “YouTube” and “tiktok” blocked but my children are still able to access them on a desktop and laptop. 

What’s odd is that the xfi admin tool won’t even accept a request to block www.tiktok.com. Why is that?  I wish these parental control actually worked. I’ve spent hours on the phone with Xfinity support trying to get this to work and nothing works.

The concern is not "Home Security / Rules And Automations" help related. Topic moved here to the proper help section for assistance.

Hello user_m98d8b

Are you getting a specific error message when attemtping to add in the address you want to block? I personally use the tool with great success.

For me it lets me add tiktok.com but it won't actually block it. It blocks other sites okay but for some reason tiktok still comes through just fine.

@user_z81bo4 Welcome to our Community Forum and thank you for reaching out so we can help with your parental controls. Are you able to successfully block other sites? When you attempt to block TikTok, does it ask you to enter a time schedule?
