How to block a website

If you look at the top of the filters, you’ll notice a yellow line remarking “Web Filter”, and along with this section “Exceptions” is. Click on it.

To add an exception to this list what you must do is to click on the yellow button on the right side. Yes, the one you see with the plus sign. CLICK on it!

If you listened me and you clicked on the yellow button, a box, chaired by a message saying that we are very close to achieving our goal will appear. “Adding an exception”.

Now you just have to add the website you want to block.

When you add the website you want to block, with this you have the option of placing it as blocked or allowed. I do not think you will get confused, but I’ll explain. By clicking on blocked the website will be blocked on mobile or tablet of your children. If you press on allowed, this website can always be seen from mobile, going through any filter you enabled.
