Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@Momodou1970 blocking games like these can be difficult especiislly if the player has an app installed. The Sky Broadband Shield is a simple DNS filter so requires the network to request the sites IP address and then blocks that request however if the app is pre-programmed with the IP address there is no such request to block. Use of a VPN would also get round the shield as well. Kids know this stuff from their friends.
You need a fully featured Parental Control system Sky had one in their Broadband Buddy but sropped permiting new users earlier this year and there is no sign of a repkacement.
