@Nardus010

When I first setup the Deco S2, it was able to block YouTube just fine on a PC that my son uses for school using Google Chrome browser. Today I find that it stopped worked and he could access YouTube just fine through Chrome (not what I wanted). I tried several things (ensure the MAC address insn't set to random), tried blocked other variations of YouTube with Https and others. In the end none of them worked. I just uninstalled Google Chrome on this PC It seems like Google Chrome has a way of getting to isn't own sites (YouTube) that somehow bypasses the parental controls. I just uninstalled chrome on the computer. Any other solutions I should have tried?
