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)

If you can't afford the filter then you also can't afford the devices...
That's very untrue. Devices can be very cheap.

That's all good and well since I came afterwards on the rescue boat, once that boat sunk.

It would be quite pointless to spend the money you do have on filters rather than buying devices...
Don't even try it.

One also has to realize it's a VPN connection, that sends all your internet / web traffic that their servers, and they proxy/ filter your traffic. So the slow down is the latency and proxying of your traffic to their servers. So if you are in a country far away from their servers, the filtering will be slower.

You want the filter on your computer or on your work computer?

Generally, from a computer you can establish as many VPN connections as you want, and in the VPN settings, you specify which subnets to route over VPN.
As long as the Gentech/Techloq software does not restrict a second VPN, you should be able to connect to your work. Now, your work VPN would probably be limited to using private addresses / non-Internet routeable - else it will circumvent the Internet filtering. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network)

Years ago, I tried the filters, and I was able to ssh to my cloud server, ssh x.x.x.x -D 2090 -- and in my Firefox browser, I put in for socks hostname 127.0.0.1 and port 2090 -- and I was able to bypass the Internet filtering. (Google how to Set up SSH Socks Tunnel)

While filtering out what else?
Gentech can allow it, but check with them what would be filtered if that option is made available.

Not sure if this has been asked,
Is there anyway to protect a VR device like the Meta Quest 2 (Oculus)?

idk about Gentech, but I know with Techloq that you can use a VPN, they are compatible with many. It depends what you want exactly - are you trying to change your location, trying to do a remote desktop from a static IP? You can reach out to Techloq and they can give you more info.


Gentech Vs. Techloq, which one slows down a PC less?
I got Techloq on my work and home computers based on this thread here on DDF. It sometimes slows down the internet a little, but should not be noticeable. If it is too slow, maybe something is conflicting with it.
