For Android

For iPhone/iPad/iOs
Check out their quite easy and powerful content restrictions.
Suggestion: Have someone else have the password (or half and half with a spouse) and do the following:
Lock installing apps + remove browser + add apps you need (possible rules: no games, no sports, no entertainment, etc.).
[Occasionally an app will have a built in browser/or need to access a certain website - just go back in to settings (with password) and add that website].
There is time restrictions and more features too.
(May not be enough for teenagers - consult your own advisers - this solution sure beats doing nothing and there is no excuse)

DNS
https://www.opendns.com/ (can be used in routers or directly in PC) - Free
https://cleanbrowsing.org

Pricing info may not be accurate and is only on full filters (not email only), feel free to correct, and does not include installation costs. I am working on a comprehensive comparison list
here it is

Can you elaborate?
Sure - I wont elaborate on the way around it - but this is how the firewall should be setup for opendns


Opendns -  208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 - Allowed - Port 53 - UDP

All others -  * - Blocked - Port 53 - UDP

Do all filters monitor your history, or do they simply have a system which won't allow you to access certain sites?

Not so sure.

I've heard from people that there are some that do.

My question is whether Netspark monitors

I checked the desktop website, there is no mention of monitoring. But I still wonder whether they do.

All others -  * - Blocked - Port 53 - UDP
Testing it out on my own computer, I can't get it to work. In the first (outbound) rule I blocked local port 53, and in the second (outbound) rule I allowed local port 53 only to opendns IP addresses (reverse order than the way you wrote it above). Then I switched the dns server to google dns, and I can still access any site. Should I set it to REMOTE port 53, or am I doing something else wrong?
TIA

Thank you. Just curious what kind of firewall you're using
