DandoHow to block gambling websites on your phone and PC
Updated
A practical guide to gambling-site blockers, DNS protection and trusted support when betting sites keep changing their addresses.
- Combine a site blocker with support from someone you trust.
- Dando is available on Windows and Mac; mobile apps are awaiting release.
- No blocker can guarantee protection against every bypass.
Start with the devices you actually use
Install the PC app from Dando and follow the permission prompts. Turn on protection, then check its status on that computer. A browser extension can complement DNS protection by identifying the page you opened.
DNS blocking covers connections that use the protected resolver. Another VPN, encrypted DNS or changed network settings may affect coverage.
Plan for new addresses and difficult moments
Known blocked domains can be checked immediately. New domains may need page analysis; an unreadable page can delay a decision. Link another user for mutual support or invite a guardian before an urge arrives. Blocking supports a recovery plan; it does not replace professional care.
Frequently asked questions
Does switching browsers remove protection?
DNS protection is independent of a particular browser, but coverage depends on network settings and the permissions you allowed.
Do I need the extension?
The PC app provides DNS protection. A supported extension adds page signals and clearer blocking notices; follow the current browser setup instructions.
