  1. Microsoft Family Safety - Website blocking does not work


    Hello,


    I cannot block websites in Microsoft Family Safety settings. When I type the address of a website that I want to be blocked eg www.youtube.com, instead of blocking the websitewww.youtube.com/, the web adresshttps://https//www.youtube.com/ is blocked.

    An additional https// is always inserted into the web address. How can I solve this problem? Or do you have also these experiences?


    In the screenshot, I highlighted the actual link to the webpage to be blocked, but this link is invalid becausehttps// is redundant there.

  3. Microsoft Family safety (Web Filtering/Websites blocking) Issue

    Hello,

    I was able to setup the microsoft family safety account. I've both parent and kid account running. I bought a laptop and a windows phone for my kid. I applied that account and it seems like the family safety is working in laptop only. So, when I add certain
    websites to block list, it blocks in the laptop and when I tried opening in windows 8.1 phone it doesn't block that particular website.

    The laptop has two users, one of them is my as a parent and another one is my kid. So, if I add a website under blobk list in familysafety.microsoft.com I can see that it blocks in laptop when I switch the user and try to access it. But, no matter what I
    always have access to those blocked sites in windows phone. Windows phone has primary microsoft account of my kid so it is a child account and the phone is synced with microsoft account.

    Solution I tried:

    I did factory reset (for windows phone that I'm having issue with) and re-signin with my kid account, which I'm controlling. (Didn't work)

    Because of this issue, a question came to my mind which is "Is it actually possible to block certain websites in windows phone using microsoft family safety assuming that I'm logged in to the windows phone using microsoft account?"

    I would definitely accept any alternatives of blocking certain websites using microsoft family safety.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Family Safety Not Blocking Websites on Google Chrome

    Family safety has suddenly stopped blocking any website on the blocked list when using Google Chrome. It still blocks them on Microsoft Edge but Edge additionally blocks Google websites such as Gmail and Google Docs even though they are on the allowed list.

    I have tried removing and adding back the account but it did not help. Any advice on fixing this issue will be much appreciated.
