Here are some common reasons why users find that nothing is being blocked:
- They didn’t enter a list of sites to be blocked.
- They included URL protocol prefixes such as
http://
orfile://
in their list of sites (see Note under the text box!). - They didn’t enter either a time period within which the sites should be blocked or a time limit after which the sites should be blocked.
- They selected
within time periods AND after time limit
but did not enter both a time period and a time limit. (See here for further explanation.) - They didn’t select any days on which the sites should be blocked.
- They added keywords to the list of sites, but did not understand how keyword blocking works.
