To add to Bob's post, this was fixed on Friday lunchtime, might have been slightly intermittent for a short window which could explain what @Percy2 was seeing with it being fixed and then not working again.
The way I've always looked at Safeguard is that it's designed more for the younger children who might inadvertently stumble across something, like if they'd heard an Australian talking about their footwear and tried searching for it.
If you know how to, you can get around all sorts of things but that's a very deliberate choice.

Just wondering what anyone else is seeing. Sites were blocked last night 06/08/24 but not blocked at tea-time today 07/02/24

P.S. I haven't changed, reset, or re-booted anything

Seems okay to me. I did an "ipconfig /flushdns" and then tried a command line "nslookup" for three dodgy sites and they all returned the same IP address (i.e. they were being redirected to the same "you can't go here" address) so that seems to be working correctly.
Also google safesearch cannot be disabled, so again: all working correctly for me.
