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)

DNS
https://www.opendns.com/ (can be used in routers or directly in PC) - Free
https://cleanbrowsing.org

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

+1 that way OPENDNS has your current IP, also the command to flush your dns if things are going a little weird is "ipconfig /flushdns"

No. One computer is sufficient. Install it on the one that you use most.

Just realize that only your computer is currently configued to use OpenDNS.  This program did not configure your router.

First test on a different device. For example, set filtering rules to block social networking, and try Facebook on a phone or tablet.

Or you can just use their test web addresses
