Avast won't block youtube in site blocking

[Rennex]

I wanted to block chrome webstore and YouTube (it actually blocks accounts.youtube.com, which isn't youtube, means I can just open incognito and keep watching, or just refresh and sign out and am watching YouTube again. I am addicted to YouTube on PC. I give many people access to my PC and want to restrict access to sites. It's tiring to manually add hundreds of websites to site blocker one by one. It's not efficient, traditional methods like the host file can be bypassed by a simple chrome webstore VPN. I appreciate the ability to block websites and add a password in Avast. I hope you can fix me:

1) Adding multiple well formatted sites to site block at once.
2) Ability to block any site I add.

Host file is bypassed by a simple VPN. From what I know about computers, that's ineffective. I want the feature inside avast, you get? Coz I can control avast myself with passwords and no one can edit it. People know how to edit host file. It has no restrictions. Then I don't want more apps, or extensions when Avast can just add me a simple feature.

Even if this were possible in Avast to block YouTube, as far as I'm aware it wouldn't be selective in who can and can't visit YouTube, so you too would probably be blocked.

You don't indicate the URL string that you have entered in an attempt to block YouTube, so it is pretty hard to suggest something that may achieve this:
eg. hXXps://*/youtube.com/* The XX in the start is to prevent the example link being active in the forums rather than https. But that would impact all users not just those you give access to.

I would be thinking restrict those who use your computer.  I just wonder if a limited user account in windows for guests - that may achieve what you are thinking,

This was one hit from this search string - https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=limited+user+account+in+windows&

So you only give access to the limited user account and you can hopefully lock that down to what you are thinking.

Look through your router settings. I found what I think you're looking for, and you can lock it down with a admin password.

Thanks for the input Lano, this isn't something I've ever had to do or needed.

My router is fully ISP controlled, typical of most providers in my country, that's why I was relying on my antivirus firewall.

Have you contacted your ISP for a solution? Maybe a parental control they offer would work.
