Hi all,
I have a baby brother who is in a long examination period and his academic skills are below average. He is facing seriously trouble if he fails 3 subject, which he did last year. So when I came home for summer, my humble parents asked me to block youtube and steam somehow. As a computer science student I gladly agree and did everything they asked except for one thing...
Using the router, I have managed to filter Youtube URLs and block destination ports of Steam so logging in or matchmaking would not work by using the Internet Access Control on specific MAC addresses of my router (Totolink N500RDG).
However, I cannot, even with a week worth of research, block the Youtube app on his iPhone from streaming videos. I've tried filtering m.youtube.com but that only blocks the website in Safari. I even tried filter c.youtube.com but it only manages to slow the connection down, not completely block it.
I've tried to research on what ports does Youtube app stream from but I cannot simply just block port 80. There's a lot of solutions for this problem using enterprise software or dedicated switches but out family only have a consumer-grade wireless router.
Summary: Please help me find a way to block the iOS Youtube app from the router.
Also, i'm having trouble blocking the url steamcommunity.com too, its weird idk why but somehow it just refuse to be block... minor issue however.
Thanks all.
