Blocking youtube

« on: February 15, 2022, 08:11:20 am »

Hello forum,

I have been testing various DNS blocklists in unbound. I noticed that the Facebook blocklist seems to work fine whereas the Youtube blocklist does not seem to have any effect. Does anyone have an idea why this is?

Cheers,
adk

Thanks, mimugmail.

I had tried something similar before and created aliases for yt. It worked but was a bit flaky. Sometimes connections would succeed but most of the time they were blocked.

Just wondering why the DNS blocklist does not work. All the others seem to be working fine.

Are you blocking googlevideo.com and you still see videos?
