youtube.com still in unrestricted mode after installation

[securitybryan]

I am running pi-hole 5.1.2 and followed the instructions on installing and running the SafeSearch shell script.

Everything completed without errors, however when I browse to youtube.com I am still in unrestricted mode.

Am I missing the obvious? Do I need to start pi-hole to pick up the new 05 config file?

I set the YOUTUBE value to True as well.

I had the same issue. I fixed it by adding these lines to the bottom of /etc/dnsmasq.d/05-restrict.conf:

cname=youtube.com,restrict.youtube.com cname=m.youtube.com,restrict.youtube.com cname=youtubei.googleapis.com,restrict.youtube.com cname=youtube.googleapis.com,restrict.youtube.com cname=www.youtube-nocookie.com,restrict.youtube.com

(sorry I don't know why github is mangling my code above, there should be a new line after each ...youtube.com)

Then restarted pihole DNS:

pihole restartdns

I had the same issue - tried the above - it was just the "cname=youtube.com,restrict.youtube.com" that was missing for me
