Hi my child safe is on but no sites are getting blocked. I've flagged this with VM before and nothing happened. Please help me resolve this.

From the device on which Web Safe appears to not be working go to https://1.1.1.1/help. What is the AS Name value reported? The following example reports this value as Virgin Media.

If the AS Name does not contain Virgin Media then:

  • if Hub is in modem mode and third party router is used then configure router to use Virgin Media DNS at 194.168.4.100 and 194.168.8.100
  • otherwise configure device to set DNS automatically, i.e. accept that assigned by DHCP — if help is required with this post back here with device detail

By default VPN sites should be blocked by Web Safe, what happens when you go to http://nordvpn.com?

I just see the site as normal, however when  I've checked the DNS it's coming back as [MOD EDIT: Personal details] which isn't in the list you provided, I've done a factory reset of my hub so I'm not sure where this is getting set

 however a reverse dns shows it is a VM server
