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.

    Just ponied up for the Eero Plus subscription thinking this feature was a given. Surprised that it's not. Looks like users have been begging for this feature for years. What's up!?

    When can we expect the addition of this essential feature?

    Piling on a bit but this is more important than even for those of us running eero in our now homeschools.  I recently purchased and setup eero and thought I did enough research but I guess not.  If I had known this basic functionality was missing I would have gone with a different product.  I have found requests for this going back 3 years.  I have serious concerns about the eero product team's ability to set priorities at this point.

    Please implement this!!! This is now more important than ever with children doing school on chromebooks from home now/during COVID-19. This will help promote ethical human use of technology and could also help address child safety concerns. Both of these are VERY IMPORTANT!


    As a user, I need to have the ability to block certain websites, like youtube or something that is not child appropriate, on a per device or per profile basis. 

    As a user, I need to have the ability to have that same blocked website, like youtube, available on other devices or profiles.

    Jeff C.   Can you or some other Eero employee please comment about when/if this feature will be added? It's been 3 years since we requested this feature.

    I just purchased two 3 packs of the Eero Pros and am planning on purchasing two more.   It has been three years.   I can’t believe the router still doesn’t allow me to block certain web pages.  Ideally that would be free since it is just a black list but at the very least, it should be part of your subscription service.    I would like to be able to block youtube and Netflix during certain school hours but allow it on his devices outside of school hours.  I guess I will have to set this up using a crontab and doing it inside my Mac or see if I can do it with screen time.  I believe Apple Screen time supports this.

    Would be extremely happy to see this in Nov 2020 as mentioned by Eero. Not counting on it but would be a welcomed surprise.

    I just left a review on Amazon with a lower rating than I would give this product if it had this feature and explained why.  Since this forum doesn't seem to mean anything to the eero product team I would suggest that anyone that purchased online go leave a similar feedback on the site they bought it on.  I know I would not have bought this product if I knew it did not have this very basic feature and I'm sure others are in the same boat.  Maybe if they start seeing their average rating drop and losing sales they'll wake up.

      Sieglock  , Mark,

      Wish I had of saw this, would loved to have provided pre-release functionality feedback.   As-is, the allow / block website is not usable for our family's primary use case: virtual / remote schooling. 

      During the day, I am looking for. seriously restricted internet (think wildcard *.* for block, and a handful of sites for allowed).  In the meantime, I'll settle for blocking just a handful of distractions. But after school, my only option is to delete the sites from the block list.  The MVP is an enable / disable toggle for the block list. The V2 would be scheduling. 

      Regards,
