Do I Need to Exclude Roblox From Filtering?

Out of the box HomeGuard is configured to filter all Internet traffic in all browsers and all running applications, including games. If HomeGuard finds any blocked keyword it will instantly block the connection bearing that offending content. This is why sometimes traffic from an otherwise harmless game like Roblox is blocked by HomeGuard. This is different from Application/Games blocking and time restrictions which can be configured in the App/Game Blocking Section.
