    Change your DNS on your router to one you can block FB with. Free ones like Opendns or adguard should do the trick. For mobile it’s a bit more tricky since you can’t just change your mobile DNS without a VPN but you could get one for that too.

      You can with Android.

      Settings > Connections > More Connection Settings > Private DNS > Private DNS Hostname.

      You will need the hostname though instead of just the IP address.
