How to Fix Blocked Websites Not Working in WebNanny?

Problem Description:
Some users may find that websites they have blocked via WebNanny are still accessible on their child’s device.

Solution:

1. Ensure the child’s device is connected to the internet.

2. Open WebNanny on both parent and child devices and verify the app is updated to the latest version.

3. Check the list of blocked websites in the parent dashboard to ensure the sites are correctly added.

4. Make sure the web filtering feature is enabled on the child’s device.

5. Clear the browser cache on the child’s device and try accessing the blocked website again.

6. Restart the child’s device to apply changes.

Important Notes / Tips:
⚠️ Some browsers may bypass parental controls if incognito/private browsing mode is used; consider enabling restrictions for these modes.
? Ensure the child’s device is not using a VPN, proxy, or alternate DNS that could bypass web filtering.
? Regularly review blocked website lists and update them as needed.
