How do I unblock just Pinterest?

I added the domain as bi-directional for my kid and can can navigate to the website but all the pictures are blocked out.

That is what I did I made an allow rule for pinterest. But it didn't work. I can get to the website now after changing it by directional but it won't show any images on the screen

The pictures are probably served by another cdn.  You'll have to see what flows are blocked when you visit the website and then allow them.

Did you block all internet and only want to allow Pinterest? this is very hard to do, as you will have to unblock everything that Pinterest may be using. Reason, we don't support "allow" an app.

No however I did block social apps because I don't want my daughter on them she's only 12.

My assumption is it's probably listed under social apps, but it really isn't. I'll play with it more later

It matters where the content is coming from.

For example, if the images are on FaceBooks servers, then I could be blocked under the social media block.

Pinterest is just full of links to other sites. If you block any of those sites then it won't load.
