Schedule based website unblocking

Do you have a habit of spending long amount of time on a website? Do you want to reduce the amount of time you spend on a website without blocking it completely?

If the answer to above questions is a YES, then we might have a solution that might help you in this situation.

“Insert Script Rule” to the rescue

This can be achieved by taking advantage of the Requestly Insert Script Rule. Here are the steps to do so:

  • Change the URL to the site you want to block.

  • Add the time durations during which you want to unblock and enjoy the site.


- Add start_time in 's' and end_time in 'e'.
- Time duration need to be in format "HH:MM:SS".
- You can add multiple time durations too.
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • Click Save Rule and you are ready to go.
