SwearGuard

How to block YouTube on your home Wi-Fi.

YouTube autoplays one video after another, and not every video is made for children. SwearGuard blocks YouTube for every device on your home Wi-Fi with one tick, with nothing to install. Block it all day, or allow it only at the times you choose, like after homework.

App blocking and schedules are included on Free. All devices share 150,000 lookups a month.
