Roblox is a popular game, with over 214 million monthly active users. It’s loved by children, with nearly 80% of users being under the age of 16. However, despite Roblox’s parental controls, it’s still not very safe. Also, playing Roblox can be addictive. That’s why many parents want to know how to block Roblox.

This article will show you how to easily block access to Roblox app and Roblox website on computers and phones.

 

How to block Roblox on Mac and Windows PC

To restrict access to Roblox on a Mac or Windows PC, you can use Cisdem AppCrypt, the best website and app blocker for computer.

When used as a Roblox blocker, AppCrypt can:

  • Block access to the Roblox app
  • Block the entire Roblox website on Safari, Chrome, Firefox (on Windows only), Edge, Opera, and Brave
  • Block a specific Roblox page, such as the page of a certain game
  • Protect the blocking with a password
  • Block permanently or only during certain times
  • Help parents prevent or limit their children’s access to Roblox
  • Also help adults overcome Roblox addiction

Steps to block Roblox app and Roblox website

1. Download and install AppCrypt on your Mac or Windows PC.

Free Download macOS 10.12 or later Free Download Windows 11/10/8/7

2. When you open it for the first time, set a password. It’s recommended to select the Launch at System Startup checkbox.

6. Under the Web Block tab, add the Roblox website to block. Enter roblox.com in the URL field and click Add.

If you need to block Roblox from yourself, it’s recommended to ask someone else, such as a family member, to set the password in step 2.

Now Roblox is blocked permanently as long as AppCrypt is running. If your child tries to open the Roblox app, he or she will be prompted to enter the password. If your child tries to open the Roblox website, the website won’t open.

There are three ways to unblock Roblox. All of them require the password. In addition, if your child tries to access Roblox and enters a wrong password, AppCrypt will record the failed attempt.

Tip: Block Roblox at certain times

What if you don’t want to block Roblox forever? You just want to set a time limit on Roblox so that your child can still enjoy the games but can’t spend much time on them.

AppCrypt allows you to do so. Under the App Lock tab, choose Roblox. Click the clock icon that appears to bring up the Roblox Schedule dialog. In the dialog, turn on Custom Schedule. Edit the existing schedule by specifying the period of time when you want Roblox to be blocked. You can add more schedules if needed. You can also turn on Custom Schedule for the Roblox website.

This way, you can control how much Roblox time your kid has and when Roblox is accessible.
