Block domain issue

Hi,

I am trying to block all network except spotify on my child device.
I have selected "block all except" in website URL and then "Domain contains" with "spotify" in it.
It doesn't work: internet access is like there was no blocking at all.
I am running 1.10.0 version.
I read about issue with https blocking but seems it has been resolved and it should work in my version.
What is wrong?

thanks

Access Restriction up until 1.10.0 only blocked http Traffic. Version 1.10.1 and above now blocks http and https (encrypted) traffic.
1.10.1 has never been released

1.11.0 RC5

I will take a look
but you mean that newer version of Gargoyle will not support WR841?

yes

4MB routers are dead

Even if you have a good router https blocking is hit and miss.

.....and this will get worse over time as technology gets better.
