Why are sites I block via Parental controls still accessible

2024-07-10 20:02:30 - last edited 2024-07-15 10:53:37

Model: Deco M5

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: 1.7.4 Build 20231222 Rel. 63684

On my teen's devices via Parental Control profiles, I have Facebook.com blocked. If I look at the history, she spent 1h35m on Facebook (which shows blocked) and 1h26m on web.facebook.com (which shiows blocked), etc etc.

How is Deco allowing so much time to be spent on blocked sites?

@Bodgit

Hi, welcome to the community.

I think it is very likely that the Parental Control only blocked certain domains, not all.

Could you please try to add all the following domains to the "Blocked websites" to see whether it helped:

FaceBook

api.facebook.com
b-api.facebook.com
b-graph.facebook.com
lookaside.facebook.com
gateway.facebook.com
edge-mqtt.facebook.com
graph.facebook.com

Best regards.
