How can I block YouTube on my TV and mobile apps using my XFINITY router?
Asked by

I'm trying to block YouTube entirely on my TV and mobile device apps since simply blocking YouTube.com through my router settings didn't work. I've noticed that the app might be using different URLs or hard-coded IP addresses. I want a solid solution that prevents easy workarounds. Any tips on how to manage this through XFINITY router settings?

If you're blocking YouTube through the router, keep in mind that apps often use hard-coded IP addresses instead of specific URLs. Check your router's logs to see which IP addresses the YouTube app is trying to access and block those accordingly.

Yes, the logs should be in your router settings. It can usually show you what devices are trying to connect to various sites, including any IPs that YouTube uses. Look for those while monitoring the traffic when someone is using the app.
