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)

In order for net nanny to be effective is it necessary to block access to the phones settings to prevent uninstalling?

Use it along with smart app protector.
Even so, it is still better to additionally block the settings.
And yet, there are still ways around...

You can install alternate settings like quick settings or something else.

SAP prevents uninstalling, locks apps that need to be blocked, prevents apps from being sideloaded and more.

Just found something very annoying about K9.  It kills websocket connections.

Try doing this, for example:
www.codecademy.com/tracks/python

or:
http://websocketstest.com

Supervisor mode doesn't help.

Nevermind.  Updating to latest version of K9 fixed that!

The residence of Kiryas Tosh, a shtetel of aprox. 400 families north of Montreal, have been suffering from severe sewage blockages and backup problems for over a month. After extensive work, a company found the root cause of the problem: A laptop. Someone decided to fulfill the mitzva of U'biarto Hora m'kirbecha with extreme hiddur by tossing his laptop into a street drain without wasting the time to close the laptop's cover. We can at least appreciate the spirit of his actions.... :D

Guess you should send a bug report to net nanny and wait for them to issue an update to bring compatibility to kit kat

Does it force close? Do you have option to send report?
If not you can download one of these apps to capture a log to send to the developer.

Unfortunately, we are not compatible with Kit Kat. Our developers are aware of the issue and they are working on making our application compatible with Kit Kat. However, it is hard to say for sure how long it will take until we are compatible. As it is right now it will not work at all with your operating system.

I had K9 for years, but just figured out that it's been causing me major issues with my internet connection. I uninstalled and reinstalled it but it didn't help. Any suggestions how to fix this or another good free filter?

do you have conflicting antivirus software?
IE. McAfee, (or avast if not set to exclude k9)
