Parental Controls Not blocking websites

Hello,

I have had a Macbook Air for some time now. I am on MacOS Sierra (10.12.6). I have had Parental Controls set on another managed user for some time. However, I noticed that the website blocking has not been working. I have removed the blacklisted sites and added them back in but they are still not being blocked.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.12

Hello eo2abogc,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand that some websites are still not being blocked when using parental controls and will do what I can to help.

Here are some suggestions:

Remove them again, but before adding them back, restart the Mac from the Apple () menu then Restart.
Start the Mac in safe mode and add the sites there. See if the same thing happens then restart normally to check again: How to use safe mode on your Mac
Try creating another user and adding the same websites with the same restrictions: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac

Kind regards.
