Blocked Services¶

Services provide a way to block entire platforms by name rather than managing individual domains. Each service maps to a set of domains that encompass the platform's infrastructure.

Built-in Services¶

The plugin ships with built-in definitions for popular services:

YouTube
TikTok
Facebook
Instagram
Twitter/X
Snapchat
Discord
Twitch
Netflix
Reddit
And more

Built-in service definitions are embedded in the plugin and updated with new releases. They cannot be edited or deleted.

Custom Services¶

Define your own services for platforms not covered by built-in definitions.

Navigate to Filters > Blocked Services and click Add Custom Service.

Field	Description
Service ID	Unique identifier (lowercase, hyphens allowed)
Name	Display name
Domains	One domain per line

streaming.example.com
cdn.streaming.example.com
api.streaming.example.com

Warning

Custom service IDs must not conflict with built-in service IDs. The UI prevents saving if a conflict is detected.

Assigning Services to Profiles¶

Services are assigned to profiles in the profile edit modal:

Go to Profiles and edit a profile
Check the services you want blocked
Save the profile

Both built-in and custom services appear in the same checklist.

How Service Blocking Works¶

When a service is assigned to a profile, all of its domains are added to the profile's compiled blocked domain set. Domain matching includes subdomains -- blocking youtube.com also blocks www.youtube.com, m.youtube.com, etc.
