I'm using Blockbit NGFW 2.4.1 and enabled the blocking of YouTube, but the blocking is working only for computers. When I test on an Android phone the YouTube app, the lock does not work as it should.

I am performing the blocking via dictionary object, would anyone have a more effective suggestion to perform the blocking on smartphones?

Hello. Gilson Camacho, referring to your question is worth highlighting some points, via dictionary object it is possible not to contemplate all necessary URLs, these hosts can change over time, so I recommend that you block through the App Control, blocking the Youtube application or via webfilter category, through the category "Media Streaming".

It is also important to remember that Google and other streaming services use the protocol Quic for acceleration of connection and bypass of some connections, so that the lock is more effective create a rule blocking the traffic from exit to port 443/udp.
