Blocking youtube in Router

Hello, I have xfinity wifi with router model XB7 vendor Arris Group.  I blocked several domains like youtube.com, m.youtube.com etc and keywords like youtube in the gateway parental control desktop interface.   However, kids are still able to access youtube.  My son is using VPN and my daughter is able to access youtube without using VPN.  Is there anyway to block youtube?

Good evening Raj, thank you so much for bringing these questions about parental controls and YouTube specifically. Using the Xfinity App and your X1 cable box, you can enable parental controls based on network, available Apps on X1 and internet parental controls based on websites. 

 

Set parental controls for content on network websites and apps

 

You are also able to assign intent devices to specific profiles in the Xfinity App, and set controls based on these profiles.
