\nThis is a definite puzzle. I swear that I tried this feature before and it worked as it should. Local access was fine, but internet access was completely blocked. (The router firewall blocks all incoming connections, so there is no \"blocking\" setup required for that.)
\nThis time,
\n\n- I blocked my cell phone and in addition to totally blocking the internet, it blocked access to the LAN as well. Could not even ping local resources.
\n- I then blocked a PC connected by wire to the router. Internet access was blocked, but LAN access remained.
\n
\nSo now I am totally stunned. Could it be that block sites works differently depending on whether the device is connected by wire or by WiFi?
\n
\nHow was the target device for your test connected?
\n
\nThis is on Orbi firmware v2.7.4.24. I should also point out that (at least on the Orbi) pressing \"Apply\" does not result in changes taking place immediately. Any experiments should probably give the system at least a couple of minutes for changes to propagate first.

Using a cell phone which can switch over to LTE data was not a good test.
\nThis time, the test device was a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. Used Block Sites to block \"Any\", which filled in TCP/UDP and 1-65535, and entered the IP address of the tablet.
\n
\nImmediately, the tablet could not access the internet
\n\n- No web browser
\n- Apps such as Flight Radar could not connect.
\n
\nBut, the tablet could access
\n\n- The Orbi web management site
\n- My Pi-hole server
\n
\nThis appears to validate that Block Sites does exactly as intended. \"No internet\", but can access local devices.
\n
\nIf this is still an open issue, I'm happy to run more tests.
