For those who want to do this on Windows 7 or above with the Advanced Firewall section, the below guide will help 🙂 It would be much better to do this on the router/firewall but most of you will be using a SuperHub which is poor. I use a VMNG300 via a dual wan pfSense custom router, so my personal configuration is totally different.



Goto Start and enter WF.msc in to the search or run bar and select enter;



1. Select Outbound Rules

22. You should now see a rule like the below screenshot

Hope this is helpful for some of the more novice users. If you have a router/firewall that you can block the IP's on this would be much better as all devices that access youtube would benefit from the change. Doing the above will only benefit the machine the change has been made on.
