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

Arutz Sheva (INS) stopped working about yesterday (maybe two days ago). No page on the site would load. Today, I got this:

Has to do with the filter? Just disable the browser ad block. No?

I have never had ad-block on. The filter does it.

Oh, then you can ask them to unblock the ad domain on this specific site...

(Having an ad blocker besides the filter is anyway a good idea...)

I don't bother with the filter except when it really matters, and this doesn't qualify.
The filter's ad-blocker has been adequate so far, and as such, I haven't used an ad-blocker since I started using the filter.
Lemaaseh, I expect Arutz Sheva + Techloq's combined user base will have the problem fixed by default sometime soon.

Page also takes forever to load, so I have no idea. I'll let you know next time I actually see it.

Is there a thread that's the equivalent of talking to TAG for advice/guidance? Would this be the appropriate thread? I do plan to go into a TAG office at some point, but would like to do some research in advance.

Ask away. You can also call tag flatbush 718-975-2941 or your local TAG with any questions you have.

I'll try to keep it brief/targeted by breaking it up into pieces. We have a 'family' laptop that our kids (boys ages 2-13) don't generally have any access to, and when they do it's on a separate login with microsoft family safety enabled - and we try as much as possible to only allow that at the dining room table with a parent around. The home internet set up is an Orbi/Circle modem/router combo with their filtering on.

While we're not looking to increase their usage, we'd like to be able to hand it off without having to hover when they're doing schoolwork. Are there TAG approved filtering options that allow different settings for different users on the device? Skin filtering would be a plus as well, though simply not allowing access to sites where that's a problem would potentially work as well.

TIA

Techloq can have separate users, and is heavily customizable.
