How are you controlling this? Router level? Parental Controls? Circle?
The latter give you better control over which devices can get where.

Good morning!

I use Advanced - Security - Block Websites... the simples version :)
I don't use parental controls / circle. Maybe ignore the fact that this is for a child. I'm simply wondering why "block websites" allows me to enter keywords and addressess -- but then one can still access these websites when one looks for them via google and clicks on them. This looks to me like a bug (?)
