    Hello,

    I'm on pfsense 2.4.4
    I would like to block youtube without blocking google and gmail.
    indeed I can block google using pfblockerNG. But when I do so, all the google services too are blocked because they use the same servers I assume.

    Can someone advise me how to procede please.

    Thanks

      Is this for a work/corporate environment, or at home?

      If at work, a company internet policy set in place is A LOT more effective than firewall rules and network settings.

      If at home, well... that's a little bit harder, 'cuz YouTube is basically on every fricking digital thing in your house. You could try throwing these domains into a block list on your LAN and see if it works.
