I want to block YouTube only for the Android phone, not the PC. I've been reading around and have tried out some of the configurations, but they unfortunately block YouTube on the PC as well. 

Anyone successfully block the YouTube app on the phone and not PC?

  You have exactly two options:

  • Either configure OpenDNS on the Android device only, not on the router.
  • Or configure OpenDNS on the router, but another (non-OpenDNS) DNS service on the PC.

  Actually, I just blocked youtubei.googleapis.com and it worked PERFECTLY!

  Hmm, I did not expect that the domain name was the question, but the place were to configure OpenDNS in your environment...

  Regarding this new topic of domain names, there's already another thread:

  The domain youtubei.googleapis.com is not listed there, so therefore thanks for bringing this solution up!  Btw, the real name of the alias (CNAME) youtubei.googleapis.com is googleapis.l.google.com.
