Parental controls not working - please help

Hi everyone - parental controls will not save changes and I urgently need help with this to block content. Can anyone help at all?

    To get you over the hurdle whilst VM fix the issue, you can manually set the DNS on the device(s) to use Cloudflare Adult and Malware filters. Set the DNS to 1.1.1.3 and 1.0.0.3 manually. This will bypass the VM DNS servers until the issue is fixed.

    Note - these solutions, including VM's,  are easily bypassed by VPN's, Apple Relay etc. etc.  It's not bulletproof by any means.  I would suggest most teenagers are savvy enough to get around DNS filters ...

  • Hello sarah2026uk,

    Welcome to the Community, and thanks for taking the time to post here on the forums. I’m sorry to hear of the issues that you’re experiencing with your parental control features at the moment. 

    I'd be happy to take a further look into this for you; however, I would need to confirm a few details via private message. Please look out for my message, and we can get started.
    Kind Regards,
    Steven_L

  • It is not working for me either and i have posted on here, been on live chat and a phone call and it was no use. the controls are not working, no content e.g. p**n is blocked. The most basic feature bit VM is completely failing in its duty to block anything. I will be going back to BT for sure.

    WHY ARE YOU NOT ADDRESSING THIS GLARING ISSUE???

        Hi David_Bn

        I am unable to reply to your inbox messages as there is no facility to reply anymore. In any case the content filtering/parent controls are NOT working still.
