How to stop Video Sharing category but allow only YouTube?
Hi
I have set my settings to 'High' setting which includes 'Video Sharing'. But I want to allow just Youtube to be used. How can I do this? I have tried to put Youtube.com on my whitelist, but still won't load any youtube videos. Only when I take off the tick for 'Video Sharing' will it allow Youtube to play. But than it allows lots of other domains which use video sharing to be played.
Anyone know a way around this please?
Also if I see a domain I do not recognise or want to block, how can I put it in my block list? I have tired to copy and paste the domain address, but won't allow me. I have tried to click on the domain and I get the message to block this domain click Block' but when I click block I get the error message ' cannot block undefined domain'. Any ideas how I can block certain domains I have noticed are been used?
Thank you

To add domains to the whitelist, you visit the page where also the categories and levels like 'high' are listed. Below that you select "Always allow" and enter the domain name. You cannot add from the domain stats page, this does not work even if offered.
Think about, google.com already covers this and every subdomain like images.google.com or www.google.com. Also, add only domains (or parent domains) which are actually blocked, else you fill up your 25 entries within no time.
Now to your first question about YouTube:
You must enter all YouTube domains (which are actually blocked) into the whitelist. You find the domains being used by YouTube with a tool like this:
https://www.webpagetest.org/result/200707_YZ_5f462fc0df48ff24c68ff4bc35b9aeee/1/domains/
These are only the domains being used at the frontpage - there could be more which you might pick with your blocked domain stats. -
Sure, but not with OpenDNS.
