Overview

YouTube has countless hours of entertainment, videos, and TV shows to keep you and your network users entertained, but there is some content on YouTube that you may prefer not to see or don't want others in your network. YouTube offers what is basically a parental control feature called Restricted Mode, which effectively avoids most inappropriate and offensive video content on the YouTube service by filtering it out.

When implemented by YouTube, you can enforce content restriction features only for individual browsers or users. In large organizations, it is not possible to enable restrict mode manually for each user and there is a possibility that the user himself may disable the restricted mode. 

SafeSquid provides an option to enable restrict mode on your gateway directly, and enforces the restricted mode on YouTube so that users not allowed to disable it. As YouTube supports HTTPS protocol, you need to enable HTTPS inspection on SafeSquid.

you can also define restrictions to particular users or for all users based on your network architecture.

When request comes to SafeSquid, for YouTube search then SafeSquid will add YouTube-Restrict : Strict header option in client headers. Then the server give the filtered response.
