I blocked YouTube at the gateway but it still works

How can I block my kids access to YouTube? I’ve used parental controls to block it at the gateway but it still works.

Hey, @user_0kmzao! Thanks for reaching out to us on the forums! I apologize to hear that the parental controls don't seem to be blocking YouTube. Having a look into this, we do see it is set up correctly on the modem. The next step I would try is adding the IP addresses as well to see if that resolves the issue. The commonly used IPs from YouTube are 208.65.153.238, 208.65.153.251, 208.65.153.253, and 208.117.236.69. Try adding these to the block list and let us know if you are still having issues with blocking YouTube.
