Let's first define some groups. Remember that we have a typical household with 2 adults and 2 children, and an average collection of electronic devices.

For this household, we'll need 4 groups.

1. Adults
2. Kids
3. Devices
4. Guests

We will only create 3 groups however, because guests will fall under the built-in “Default” category for undefined devices.

First we'll go to the Groups page and create groups for Adults, Kids, and Devices.

Once we have our groups defined, we can start defining our clients.

When all your clients have been defined, and assigned to groups it is time to assign blocklists to groups.

Click on Blocklists in the right hand sidebar.

First, enable all the blocklists you intend to use. Click on Update at the bottom of the Blocklist page to make sure you have up-to-date files.

Next, you will want to make Group Assignments for all the enabled blocklists. Group assignments are made by clicking on the appropriate button in the Group Assignment column in your Blocklist grid.

If you have enabled the Tracking blocklist, let's start with that. You don't want any tracking going on, so you check All for this blocklist. This will enable this list for Adults, Kids, Devices, and Default. Remember Default is “everyone else”, whether they are guests or devices for which no group membership has been defined.

If you have enabled the Adult blocklist, let's do that one next. Well you definitely want that blocklist active on the Kids clients, as well as the Default devices. So we'll just check those two groups. The adults can make up their own minds, and the Devices group has no need for this kind of blocklist, so we'll leave those unchecked.

You will just complete this procedure for each enabled blocklist and you will have a very customized system.
