Ive tried blocking yourtube from the firewall.
But, only youtube via a browser is blocked
If you use an app to run youtube - it will run even though there is a block active on youtube
any way out ??

according to my googling, you might also need to block a few more urls.
- youtube.com
- m.youtube.com
- youtu.be
- ytimg.com
- l.google.com
- googlevideo.com
Try this and see how you get on.

The issue with blocking so many url word is that it will eventually block gmail and google too

I agree.
What router do you have?
If you have sufficient space and ram you might look at installing something like Privoxy. It's a very powerful transparent proxy. I don't know if it'll play nice wth Gargoyle however.
Sorry mate.
Let us know if you come up with a solution!
