Block (Blacklist) certain websites

I need to have the ability to block certain websites in the profiles area. It would also be great to have the ability to whitelist certain sites as well.

    Also waiting for this functionality. This is now 1 year + old. Still not on the roadmap?

    This is absolutely a must in terms of parental controls. I love eero, and have been eero plus subscriber for years, but this becomes a deal breaker, and it's still not on the roadmap :(

    I would pay more for eero plus if a feature that enabled us to block you tube, etc.  existed.  Lots of parents out there struggling with setting boundries for their kids on the internet.  You guys (eero) are missing a tremendous opportunity to develop a product enhancement that would be really profitable for you.  Get going . . .

    I really need this feature also.  Will consider dropping EeroPlus if not available soon.  Seems like a no-brainer feature.

    Agree this is very helpful (maybe necessary) for parents. I'd also like to be able to block websites by MAC address or device. This would allow me to block Youtube for the kids but not for me. I get that there are likely more important things to implement. This seems pretty important for parents.

    This would also allow us to block the VPN sites our kids try to use to get around us blocking the sites they want to see.

    Please add my vote to both whitelisting and blacklisting on a per-profile basis.

    I'd like this option as well. I can see the benefit of using this for families, but I don't have one. My use case is that my boyfriend and I both tend to get distracted with certain websites when we're working. I'd like to be able to toggle access to Facebook, Twitter, news sites, etc. for a period of time.

    I'm likely adding a router with these capabilities and still use eero for wireless in bridge mode.

    Adding my vote. This should also be an included feature of eero and not require a Secure or Secure+ subscription.

      abraham_raib - I think you should stay around until at least through first half of 2020. We don't comment on our roadmap and timing just in case things change. However, I can tell you this is one of the features I most look forward to releasing when/if it is ready.

      Sieglock We're well into the 2nd half of 2020 and this still isn't a feature of eero/eero secure

    As a parent, REALLY need the ability to turn of (for example) YouTube for certain profiles.  I know LOTS of parents have asked for this feature.  Please make this a priority.

    Hello? Are you going to provide this feature? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

    This is just basic hygiene for any network router.  The fact that you have not added it for years is ridiculous.  Heck, you could just add some regex variable to the code and make it happen.  
     

    That being said, does anyone there have a recommended work-around?

    Maybe it's the fact that Amazon now owns eero; it seems like maybe this is just a simple conflict of interest issue - if an eero user could block an Amazon-affiliated site that could be bad for Amazon's business. Never underestimate the opportunity to put $$ ahead of customer needs.

    We NEED this! Get in this fight with us Eero or we have to return the equipment and get in the ring with someone who is already in our corner.

    Hi everyone, thank you for all of the requests for this feature! We don't comment on our roadmap and timing just in case things change. However, I can tell you this is one of the features I most look forward to releasing when/if it is ready.

    Sieglock Thank you for that hint about the future. My only hope would be that the addition of some of these potential future features will be not be an attempt to monetize the installed Eero base by only making the feature(s) available to people who pony up for a subscription.

    I've been checking this thread for years now and it's still not clear whether or not we'll get this feature. Either provide the feature or be honest and tell us why it's never going to happen please. Otherwise thanks for making a product that mostly meets my expectations. Also IF you release the feature take my money if this is subscription based - just make sure it works and can be applied to specific devices on a permanent basis.

    It is a very simple feature.  That is why I am confounded as to why they will not add it.  It could be a simple string compare if they wanted to phone it on.  Sheesh.

    This would be really helpful. I am eyeing the eero subscription service. But the main thing I’d like to be able to do is selectively block certain websites. Yes of course you can guess which ones I’d need to specifically target... I have kids! Things like YouTube are invaluable when they’re doing homework. When they’re surfing around the web... not so much. So it’d be nice to have some control over which sites they can visit or not. Thanks!

    A router that allows some traffic management in front of the gateway eero is only way I've found to do this reasonably. Cost me another $120 for a router, but it was one-time cost and got me the features I wanted.
