Windows 10: Time Based Website Blocking

Hi,


I currently have Microsoft family setup and working normally however I'm looking for more granular control around website blocking.

I would like the ability to unblock websites for a specific time window and also allow temporary unblocking of a website when requested and provide a time limit. E.g. unblock for 30 minutes or 60 minutes.

Essentially I'd like to have the granularity of time controls and timed access requests for specific websites as there are for apps. As functionality is all build you look at adding the functionality to websites?

Maybe this could be done through simply adding the ability to "add a specific websites as a custom app" under the "Installed Apps" section.

Scenario:

Child shouldn't be able to browse certain websites during the day/school hours i.e. YouTube but could be allowed to browse them outside of school hours but only for a certain amount of time. i.e. 1 hour Ideally they would also have the ability to request more time and parents can approve with a specific amount of time to add or deny through the app as the current process works for apps/login/screen time.

:)

 

How to Block Websites

I have googled a bit and found software that can be used to block websites on a computer. I also found another way by using Windows which I would prefer. My problem is I must be doing something wrong. Here is the site that has the steps.

Here is what happens when I perform step 6. I am the administrator by the way.





Any ideas on how to make this work?

It is still a text file. And it does not block the website. I cannot do what you suggested by saving to docs and changing name. But at least its in the folder. Now how to make it work.
