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

Since I've upgraded to Windows 10 (I nearly sure that that's when it happened) I have some sites that are not blocked by a TAG-installed K9 filter. I anyone familiar or have a solution?

I have heard that TAG is recommending waiting to upgrade until they work out some issues.

Issues that have specifically to do with K9, or in general?

My apologies for not going through the whole thread - its pretty long and I'm new to this discussion. I would like to put a filter on my phone and give my wife the password or something. I have an Android (LG Optimus F6). Whats my best option?
Thanks.

The best one is Livigent, but for the real one, not "lite", your phone needs to be rooted. You might need TAG or another organization to configure properly. You can read more on Play Store for Livigent Lite.

Netspark is supposed to be a decent option without rooting.

There are easy ways around the others, but depending on your tech knowledge and what you want your filter to do, there are free options, such as Norton Family Security, Kids Safe Browser, Mobicip, Ranger, and Qustodio.

If you're going to use livigent I'd recommend you install it through Meshimer they have contracted the company and have highly fine-tuned settings.

True, but meshimer has it highly fine-tuned for our crowd's needs.

I have not compared, so I'll take your word.
What do you mean "our crowd"?

Generally, yes. By me, almost. Some sites are not being blocked. I was told that it should usually work and in the future K9 will be updated to function more reliably, so I guess ymmv.

Just looked into Qustodio, and it has a pretty big flaw. They try to address it, but it only helps on stock and Chrome browsers.

I've had a lot of trouble with K9 on my computer ("resolving host", see above...). What other filter is recommended that should not make trouble? Thanks.

Can I set k9 to block all websites until I enter the password?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I think that flaw is in any filter which is not its own browser, aside from Livigent and Netspark.
