How to prevent bypassing parental control via VPN?

Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
On the DECO I have blocked YOUTUBE for the devices connected to the profile of my son. That is working fine till he found out that there are VPN servers on the internet. He now connects to such VPN server and continue to spend hours on YOUTUBE instead of working on his homework.
Via the "Insights" I can see that he is using a VPN, so I block each time these specific websites. But each time there is a new variant which I need to block.
Via the "Apps/Websites" I wanted to block everything with VPN in it, but I do not manage to do so. It seems that you can only select predefined keywords.
So how to block in one go all the VPN servers?
And if that is not possible, how to get websites added to the DECO database? In this specific case *.vpnunlimitedapp.com but tomorrow another one as there are many of such VPN out there.

I think you all are looking at a wrong angle, imagine a great firewall cannot block VPN completely from state level, how do you expect a private company like trend micro to do it????
Wake up people, mind if I suggest easier and more realistic solution to the problem:
1, cut off your kid's allowance as I know most of the VPN are not free.
2, beat the crap out of your children, so they would quite messing around.
While I do not 100% disagree with you... If the product is going to turn off internet access (or advertise it), I would expect the only thing to pass to the internet, to be... NOTHING... TP Link has been really good with working with their customers on finding a resolution, so bringing this to them is only to help make a better product.
As I said, I do not disagree with you on being a parent.. This is a parents job to keep one step ahead of your kids..not the product... but finding a happy medium is always something that can help...

@hansremmerswaa ITs three years now and looks like keyword filtering has not been added yet.

Lack of people logic baffles me sometime. EVEN if you block internet access for your kid doesn't mean he will do his homework. Only way is for you to be present physically and watch/help him do his homework. If you think internet is a distraction and he doesn't need internet to do his homework, cut the internet completely. That's all folks!
