    I am using Family Filter DNS on my Mac (Big Sur) but YouTube is not set to restricted mode. I am able to turn it on and off. Please advise.

    Hi

    What do you get when you go to this page: https://www.youtube.com/check_content_restrictions

    Also, what do you get when you run the standard test here: dnsleaktest.com?

    Thanks

    So, when I was connected to the guest Wi-Fi at my place of work, the filtering wasn’t working. When I got home, I see that YouTube is set to moderate for m.youtube.com and the APIs but not http://www.youtube.com or http://www.youtube-nocookie.com. Here are the dnsleaktest results:

    Update: MacOS automatically updated last night. Now https://www.youtube.com/check_content_restrictions shows moderate for all domains except YouTube-nocookie.com. There’s still objectionable content getting through, and I can still toggle the restricted mode switch in settings.
