Overview
Blocklists can include individual websites (domains and subdomains) and Freedom’s curated filters.
You can manage blocklists through:
The web dashboard (Mac and Windows)
The iOS app
The Android app
Once you've created a blocklist, you can use it to start a Freedom session and block access to those sites.
