Step 11 of 11

Test it: type leadmenottest

Open Safari, type leadmenottest into the address bar and go. If LeadMeNot blocks the page, everything is working.

Watch out

Not blocked? Every permission has to be on. Check the Safari Extension is switched on, with no red message under You › Protection Settings (or VPN protection, if you use that instead), Screen Time access is allowed, and the Blocker says Active on Block & Monitor.

Good to know

The test only works while blocking is on, for example with Adult Websites & Apps switched on.
