RBR850 - Not blocking services

Question

I have two&nbsp;RBR850 connected in a mesh. I'm trying to setup the block sites and block services features. Neither are working as expected.&nbsp;The block services one is most important to me. I want to setup a block for Steam to eventually schedule it.&nbsp;I've done the following:&nbsp;&nbsp;These are the steam ports per this website:&nbsp;https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/2EA8-4D75-DA21-31EB&nbsp;I've tried a reboot of all relevant devices after hitting apply. Everything on steam is working as expected. I've also checked for new firmware and I'm on the latest version.&nbsp;At a bit of a loss, keen to get some help.&nbsp;Cheers

the https causes issues and basically ruined blocking on the netgear routers.&nbsp;

For most, using a DNS blocker works better. I use pihole but you could use a direct service like cloudfare or opendns
