*.IO games - how to block this type

Anonymous

Hi, could anybody help with this, please?

The *.IO games' websites come with a different #-4-digit-number- "extension" and there doesn't seem to be a simple way to block these via Microsoft Family Safety. Please be reassured that all gaming apps have been dealt with. This question has nothing to do with gaming apps. This is about blocking the actual games' websites.

Here is an example.

Websites blocked: http://starblast.io/#7269, http://starblast.io/#3878, http://starblast.io/#4358,******http://starblast.io/#, http://starblast.io/\**,*****http://starblast.io/#6570,http://starblast.io/#158,******http://starblast.io ...

Just now the same game was played on the same computer viahttp://starblast.io/#1615 😱

There are way too many combinations to be possible to block manually. Could anyone please suggest how this could be done for all starblast.io, or even better for all *.io games? 

Many thanks for your help!

    Hi Elise, thank you for your reply. starblast.io is already on the list, unfortunately. This is the one I started with. I'll keep looking for other ideas. No way, there is no way :-) Many thanks, Liliya

    Hi, I'm Elise, an independent advisor and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

    I believe you should enter this as starblast.io in family safety, this should block anything under startblast.io/*

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Kind Regards,

    Elise
