How to Block TikTok and Other Social Media on Your Computer

Learn how to easily block TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and other social media sites on your Windows computer or laptop with just a few clicks. Instead of dealing with the complexity of blocking TikTok through an expensive router, wasting time with a cumbersome interface, and discovering that your children can bypass the blocking, we offer a reliable solution: HT Family Shield, our parental control software.

  1. Download HT Family Shield and install it on your computer/laptop. Create an account.
  2. Open your browser and go to https://family.ht-vector.com. Log in to your account, no matter where you are.
  3. Navigate to Rules → Website Limiting and add TikTok to the list. Select the «Block» option.
  4. Alternatively, if you want to block all social media platforms at once, simply choose the «Block» option for the Social Network category.
Note: To block Instagram, simply choose to block it from the list of categories.
For business use, consider HT Task Vector with the same blocking features.

How to Set Time Limits on TikTok and Other Social Media

When it comes to managing time spent on TikTok and other social media platforms, you have two options: "Block TikTok" or "Limit TikTok." Choosing «Block» will completely block access to the platform on the computer, while selecting «Limit» allows you to set specific time restrictions based on your preferences, such as maximum daily, hourly, or weekly usage.

  1. Add TikTok to the list and select «Limit».
  2. Specify a schedule for the limited sites and/or set daily, hourly, or weekly time limits.
  3. Alternative, you can choose «Limit» for the Social Networks category to apply time restrictions to all social media platforms.
You can easily block or limit the time spent on gaming sites, videos, YouTube, Instagram, and any other websites within the same tab.
