Re: Safeguard - blocking a site

@adam945's added the website to his Safeguard and he's going to check it when he's home tonight as he's in the office.

I'm working from home and I'd try but I'm using a Linksys router and playing around with the DNS servers to change it to the ones which Safeguard uses will interrupt the internet I'm currently working from.

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

Re: Safeguard - blocking a site

I do not understand this.

If there is any way to block this website with the Plusnet router, please let me know.


Thanks

I tried 

https://duckduckgo.com/

and 

www.duckduckgo.com


You do not need to enter the http(s):// prefix. 

Given DuckDuckGo favour their domain without the www prefix, then I would recommend you try blocking the site by simply entering duckduckgo.com if you haven't attempted that already. If Safeguard is already enabled then a reboot of the router is not necessary.
