YouTube will stop working once Windows makes a new DNS request, and gets a reply from AGH. This usually only happens when the TTL of the DNS entry runs out (for youtube I get 5mins), if you manually do a "ipfconfig /flushdns" on Windows, reconnect the network. Even then the browser might still show cached content.

This DNS query "decision" is made by the client. To achieve immediate blocking, AGH would have to overwrite the TTL of "legitimate" DNS replies to e.g. 1sek, in case the user wants to block certain services.

@copacetic82 even if AG rewrites the TTL, it won't help with connections that are already open.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to implement this request on the DNS-level.

It is possible to do on a proxy-level once #391 is done, but we didn't plan to implement parental control features there so I'll mark this as a low-priority feature request.
