Can I block CS:GO at the router?

Short answer: Yes. But it's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut unless you really need to block it for everyone on your network. You're better off setting parental controls on the devices you want to restrict.

Absolutely, you can block CS:GO at the router level by blocking the game's specific ports and IP addresses that it uses to connect to its servers. You'll need to access your router's admin page and find the section for port forwarding or blocking. Look up the ports CS:GO uses (usually includes 27000-27100 for Steam) and block them. Just remember, this blocks all traffic for those ports, not just CS:GO, so make sure you're not blocking something you need!

Definitely possible - did this when my roomie wouldn't stop playing till 4 AM on weeknights. Hit up your router settings, block those ports, and say goodbye to sleepless nights. Works like a charm, just be prepared for some pushback from the CS:GO addict in your household.
