Blocked website still accessible??

Hi all.

I've added the BBCi player website address to be blocked, saved the changes, but it's still accessible.

 

I've tried a few other sites and the same issue persists.

 

Anything I can do?

 

Thanks.

    Good it means VM are not blocking safe sites that should not be blocked.

    Suggest if you want to block such sites to run your own DNS resolver.

    The need for blocking BBC iPlayer is more incredible than Rachael Reeves' CV being credible.

    Any device that uses a Public DNS or a VPN (e.g. Apple Relay ) will always bypass ISP based parental controls.

    It is not a VM limitation, just the way domestic internet works when supplied from a basic ISP Hub / Router.
