Our Website Exceptions feature allows you to add both entire domains (e.g. facebook.com) and subdomains or pages (e.g. facebook.com/business) to your Website Exceptions list so you can access them during your sessions.
How to add Website Exceptions
To add website exceptions, click Manage Website Exceptions on the Freedom desktop menu:
2. Enter a site and click Add. There is no need to include the standard beginning parts of the URL, like http:// and www.
3. To enable your exceptions list, select Enable Website Exceptions in the Freedom app menu.
3. Start a block session. The sites on your list will not be blocked during your session.
FAQ
Q: Do I have to run a "Block All Websites" session for Website Exceptions to work?
A: No. You can use Website Exceptions with both Block All Websites sessions and sessions that only use your custom blocklists. Sites will be allowed for both setups.
Q: Can I add sites to my exceptions list during a block session?
A: To avoid adding website exceptions to circumvent blocks, website exceptions cannot be added during active sessions. You'll need to end your session first using the instructions here: Ending a block session
Q: Are all browsers supported when Website Exceptions are enabled?
A: Currently, the browsers listed here are supported when Website Exceptions or Non-proxy mode are enabled: Supported Browsers for Website Exceptions and Non-Proxy Mode on Windows. We're working to add support for more browsers in the future. Please feel free to let us know which browsers you'd like website exceptions added to via our Feature Request Survey.
Q: Will Website Exceptions automatically apply to all of my devices?
A: No. Website Exceptions are only available on Windows and Mac, not mobile, and they are applied on a per-device basis. In other words, website exceptions entered on one Windows device will not automatically apply to another Windows device on your account. You would need to set up Website Exceptions separately on the other device.
