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.
Add Custom Websites from the Dashboard (Mac & Windows)
Steps:
1. Go to Freedom.to and log in.
2. Under My Blocklists, do one of the following:
Click an existing blocklist to edit it.
Click Add Blocklist to create a new one.
3. To block websites:
Enter a URL in the input field above the filters.
Click Add Site to block that domain.
To add multiple websites (up to 50 at a time), click Add Multiple Sites.
4. Repeat Step 3 for all websites you want to block. For help adding mobile and desktop apps to a blocklist, click here.
5. If you're creating a new blocklist:
Enter a name for your blocklist.
Click Create Blocklist.
6. Your blocklist is now ready. To begin blocking, see: Starting a block session.
Tip: Only domains (e.g., example.com) and subdomains (e.g., subdomain.example.com) can be blocked. Specific sections of a website (e.g., example.com/page) cannot be blocked. Adding a domain will also block all its subdomains.
