It is good, but the scheduling is not working correctly. Maybe it works on certain time-zones? Idk

Blocks sites but the scheduled blocking function doesn't work? I set it to block from 9am to 11pm but I was able to access any site on the block list during those hours, then it randomly started blocking sites at 10pm and wouldn't stop even if I changed the block to only be from 9am to 9pm.
