Cool thing they also have there is an extensive list of filtering options:

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)

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

Is there anyway or app to block the ability to use wifi adapter in pc and can only use with a password? This way I can block internet on family computer but have access when I need to update.

Thank you

I do know that Techloq offers a great free filter, which they can temporarily unlock if you need to do a software update. They are a great company and have very good support. (Also prevents backdoor methods, like a Wi-Fi dongle, or wired internet, which your method would still be susceptible to.(and if you think your kids are really clueless (probably not though) you can try just disabling the adapter from the device manager in control panel))
If you insist on doing it yourself, reply and I can give you a basic idea of where to start.. Maybe Microsoft Family?

Maybe something like Net Disabler would work for you (with the caveat that it might be possible [not that I know of a way, but it's a small portable tool so can't be too persistent] for a techie kid to bypass.

What i would do is take out the wifi totally and just plug it into a router with an ethernet cable when need be. Alternatively, you can purchase a wifi adapter to connect wirelessly.

Brave Private Web Browser? It might be a better experience by having ads and trackers blocked (and the browser is pretty good.) But from an "Internet filter" (safety for the neshumah) why would it be any better than any other browser?

Without any context it's odd what it would accomplish.

Screen time password. You can customise your restrictions.

Go to “content restrictions” and you should see the option.
