Mac and Windows

To block all websites with Freedom on Mac or Windows, follow these steps:

  1. Launch your Freedom Dashboard: https://freedom.to/dashboard

   2. When creating a session, choose the All Websites blocklist.

3. Start the session — all websites will be blocked!

You can also start a session directly from the Freedom desktop menu by selecting the Block All Websites blocklist, and then Start Session:

Mac Block All Websites

Mac Start Session

Note: it is not possible to block the Freedom.to website with Freedom, even during sessions that include Block All Websites. This is intentional, and it's to make sure that you can still access your account settings and our Help Center during your sessions.


iOS

  1. Tap the Blocklists button

  2. To create a new blocklist, tap Add New Blocklist. To edit an existing blocklist, tap the name of blocklist.

  3. If creating a new blocklist, the app selection screen will come up first. You can select apps to block here, or just tap Continue to move on to the blocklist editing screen.

  4. Scroll to the bottom of the screen

  5. Under Advanced, toggle on Block all internet on device.

  6. Tap Save (or Create if adding a new list)

  7. Start a block session that includes this blocklist to block all websites on your device. See Starting a Block Session for more instructions.

Note: If the Freedom Profile has been installed, this blocklist will now block all network activity on the device. If only the Content Blocker is installed, it will block all websites in Safari but won't affect any other apps or browsers.


Android

1. Open the Freedom app and tap New Session at the bottom

2. Select Blocklists

3. On the Blocklists screen, select Block All Websites

4. Select the devices and amount of time for the session. Then tap Start Session. See Starting a Block Session for more instructions.
