My son has a smart tv and I would like to block YouTube on it. I want the rest of the devices in the house to have access to it. I'm using two routers in the house, unsure on model numbers but I will get them. One is for the wired connections and the other handles wireless and my theater room stuff (XBox One, 360, Denon receiver, etc). His tv is on the wireless. I'm experienced enough to cause trouble on my bbn own but I think I could make this work with a few pointers. Thank you. |

That's actually a remarkably simple answer. I like it. It would also work in the future for any other device he may get.
Thank you. |

Setup a small DNS server (pi-hole), resolve YouTube.com to 127.0.0.1 and point the tv dns to the server.

I don't know how complete it is, but this site has a list of IP addresses they say belong to Youtube. Blocking them would be a good start unless you get a more complete list.

The circle is what you need, works great, and has logging.

Which works until they setup something like 8.8.8.8 or 4.2.2.1 on the device for dns or just go by ip address. |
