Hello

I want to block all the Mobile Phones with youtube access.

i read it works with *.googlevideo.com to the range.
But the * at first the router says are invalid characters.

Without * a rule googlevideo.com on my Note 3 no access with browser and app.

With S3,S4 and S5 from Samsung full access.

How can i block youtube?

How can i block youtube?

You can simple block ip addresses of youtube.com and googlevideo.com by iptables rules

You can save rules in firewall-start script in /jffs/scripts

for example:
Code:
iptables -I INPUT -s 173.194.112.2 -j DROP
 
thanks

but youtube and googlevideo have a large ip range.

173.194.112.2 is in my region google search engine.
 
You could try blocking it at DNS-level, mapping the (sub)domains to 127.0.0.1. Not even L7 filtering won't work because youtube uses SSL (at least not easily, without involving a transparent proxy running on 443 with MITM SSL certificates and connections).
