Mac OS X Parental Controls Not Blocking Websites

I've set parental controls three times to block web sites. Then I start Safari and go to the web site and it loads without any issue. I go back into Parental Controls and the web sites that I added to be blocked are not listed.

It seems like Apple doesn't care at all about families and children anymore. Please advise.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 2.8Ghz i7 16GB 500GB

Content restrictions Limit adult websites is not working Hi everyone, I am trying to block a Macbook Pro from accessing adult websites. I went to Settings --> Screen time --> Content & Privacy --> Content & Privacy restrictions: On --> Web Content --> Limit Adult Websites. Then I additionally added a number of websites that I want blocked. I closed down the settings screen and tested one of the websites I blocked on purpose, and found out they are still accessible. I tried restarting my computer, restarting my browser, then I made a non-admin account and tried to see what websites I could access over there, and it was still possible to access adult content. My laptop has MacOS Catalina installed and I work with a VPN. Also tried to switch off the VPN but this does not seem to matter. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Would really like to shield this laptop from accessing Adult content. Any help is very welcome. Thank you in advance! Best regards, Daniel

New Mac has some sorta parental controls and won't let me visit certain websites/apps so I got my new mac about week ago I seems I cannot play this game I downloaded or go to certain websites (ex.fox news), If I try the game it gives me this error saying You don't have permissiom to open this please contact your administrator for assistance. This is an home computer so we don't have an computer admin. Is there anyway to get pass it? the firewall is off and I've double checked our internet permissions theres nothing that should block these things. Spotify and Chrome works fine.
