Blocking or Allowing Specific Websites
Category rules cover whole themes, but sometimes you need one site handled individually. Here's how custom allow and block entries work.
When you need per-site rules
Categories are broad by design. But families also have specific needs: a school portal hosted on a platform the education category blocks, or a game site you'd rather block even though gaming is allowed. Custom domain rules fill those gaps.
Adding a rule
Open Filtering, then manage custom websites. Enter the domain — "example.com" covers the whole site, including subdomains — and choose Block or Allow, then scope it: to the whole household, or to a single profile so one child's exemption doesn't open it for the others.
How rules resolve
Specific rules win over category defaults: an Allow entry un-blocks a site a category would catch, and a Block entry stops a site a category permits. Within a profile, profile-scoped rules beat household-wide ones.
Reviewing what you've added
The custom list is also your record — check it every few months. Kids request new sites over time, and old Allow entries from last year's class may no longer need to be open.
