2) Specify the domain suffix (for example, .edu or .org) to allow access only to the websites with that suffix.

10. Enter the keywords or websites you want to add and click Save.

Done!

Now you can control your children’s internet access according to your needs.

NOTE: If the settings are correct but the parental control doesn't take effect, you may try the following troubleshooting:

1. If configuring parental control for the computers, you may clear the DNS resolution on the computer: Press Win + R, then input CMD, then input “ ipconfig /flushdns ” then Enter.

2. If configuring the parental control for the other devices like Android and Apple devices, you can just reboot the devices. So that those devices will clear the cached Domain name resolution record, which means our Parental Control can work without the interference of the Cache on those devices.
