How to unblock websites on Safari for Mac?

It may be due to Screen Time restrictions, parental controls, or geo-blocks. Here are simple ways to unblock websites and restore full access:

1. Disable Screen Time Restrictions

Screen Time can block access to specific websites. To remove these restrictions:

  • Go to: System Settings (or System Preferences) > Screen Time.
  • Select: Your user account.
  • If locked: Enter your Screen Time passcode.
  • Click on: Content & Privacy > Web Content.
  • Choose: Unrestricted Access.

This will remove all website restrictions set by Screen Time.

2. Turn Off Parental Controls (macOS Mojave or earlier)

If you're using an older macOS version:

  • Open: System Preferences > Parental Controls.
  • Unlock: The settings using your admin password.
  • Select: Your user profile.
  • Choose: Allow unrestricted access to websites.

This will disable website filtering applied through parental controls.

3. Use a VPN to Bypass Geo-Blocking

Some websites may be restricted based on your location. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) can help:

  • Install: A trusted VPN like Private Internet Access.
  • Connect: To a different region or country.
  • Reopen: Safari and access the blocked site.

VPNs mask your IP address and help you bypass regional restrictions securely.
