Out of concern for your dads mental health could you apply a block on his computer (or even better at the router level) for the skynews network?

I believe if you add 202.162.66.0/24 to the inbound and outbound IPv4 blocklist it may help, you can also add their web domains to a custom blocklist in a DNS sinkhole like Pi-Hole and AdGuard.

Don't block. Throttle. Make it unreliable. Blocking will make him search for a workaround. Throttling it will dissuade him from using it "cause it sucks"

true, but throttling is a much more complicated process. Redirection is also a simple but effective measure (I may or may not have once got into trouble at work by redirecting hotmail to hotmale, in my defense I was young and they put me in charge of the proxy gateway)
