Can't individually block websites like reddit and instagram, says that they have already been blocked, but are still accessble

The filter is working as intended, except for individual sites.  when i try to restrict websites like reddit individually, it says that it is already being restricted, despite still being accessible, even after individually blocking them, what should be done?

Hello, 

 

Large domains such as reddit often require that numerous domains need to be blocked so the domain will not open.

In reddit's case those domains are usually:

  • reddit.com
  • i.reddit.com
  • redd.it

How about Instagram?  Any success on blocking that?

Please add the following domains to your (blacklist) Always Block list:

instagram.com
api.instagram.com
cdninstagram.com

These domains usually will block Instagram but if you are still having problems please add these domains as well to your (blacklist) Always Block list:

connect.facebook.net
staticxx.facebook.com
