How do I block a website for a specific user?

I also want the ability to easily and temporarily block certain sites like YouTube. That way during homework time they can access their homework site and not get distracted. 

Do you partner with opendns?

Jeff C. Parent here. Family Profiles would be perfect if I could block a specific site like youtube. I use Eero family profiles extensively to manage how much screen access my two children get, which is a massive ongoing headache for me and a constant source of arguments. I'm in the app all the time flipping access on and off depending on the situation. I need flexibility to block certain things while allowing others. Not sure if this is on your roadmap, but I would pay extra for this, it is so worth it to me. Give me site specific blocking in family profiles and I will be able to deal with a huge family pain point. It is literally the only thing that makes Eero less than perfect. 

All, this is the SPECIFIC need we parents want. Yes eero plus (that I have and paid for) is very good for filtering sites and content I don’t know about but as other users indicated I need the ability to block Fortnite and YouTube while still allowing for homework. When is it going to be possible. I cannot be a large change since website blocking is available in web browsers. 

I would also like to see the ability to block certain websites..... Such as YouTube. I do not understand why this is not listed as a planned feature. If my kids were online at the time I purchased the Eero system........ not having this feature would have had me look at other solutions. 

I would like to add my voice to this topic - I would also love to have this feature!

I second the motion and push for a vote!  I’m all in for this feature request.

Please add customizable content/site blocking, e.g., Youtube, and other time sinks for children.  I moved from Orbi to Eero because of your excellent, reliable product and customer service.  Orbi's firmware updates crashed my network and took a month with Netgear's support without resolution.  Without reliability and great customer support, additional features like Disney Circle is not worth it in my case.

Just purchased euro plus with the specific goal of blocking you tube.   Very disappointed that the Eero developers have not developed a simple solution in 11 months since this site has been started.  I may ask for my money back.

Jeff C. and Eero Team,

Can someone respond if Eero is working on this?  I understand that this may be more difficult that some of us really understand, but after almost a year, I would hope this has made it up the list of improvements. 

Also, I disagree that this has been "answered".  Yes, Eero responded, but either they are not going to make this change, or they are and they are working on it.  I guess I am asking for a reevaluation of if the topic is truly "answered"

Thanks VTCC93

I agree, this is needed.  Only way around it is to use another device on your home network called Circle by Disney.   U can block the traffic by app name and per users.

eero, while e-plus is nice consider the other apps that we get access to for 99 bucks is nice.

Is there a dislike button?

Please! This is super important for families!

The ability to block youtube is a critical parenting feature.

I'm ready to cancel the service too, not enough control.  Supporting the ability to schedule Youtube, fortnight time etc is critical to enforcing screentime for kids.  Is there an ETA to release the schedule or should I cancel the service?

It's amazing that Eero has this many parents crying out for an obvious and not-so-complicated feature and they won't deliver. Makes me wonder where their funding is coming from.

If I can't block TikTok within a month, I'm cancelling Eero too. This was one of the most obvious reasons I bought a system like this and it clearly isn't delivering the features people need.

I just signed up for eero Secure and would love to see this feature as well.

This is such an important feature to add.  Being able to narrow access down to help kids manage the distraction potential of the web is key.  Like being able to turn off YouTube for a while when they are doing homework.  Great need.  Can get it elsewhere but why not here?  Having a non transparent filter set by eero not that helpful.  

eero and community,

So as of Dec 2019, the ability to block specific websites does not exist within eero.  What have users done to resolve (or work around) this in the short term?  Clearly we are in a school year now and need to do something asap then waiting for software enhancements.    Do we use a VPN?  If so, which ones work best with eero?  Can the eero dev group give us some type of guidance to work with this current gap?    (I work in software dev and we do this all the time for current product gaps).
