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

+1 but I think you need to add advanced protection or activate it from the settings. I once got rid of it very easily.

"To switch from LastPass (LP) to KeePass (KP), I used LP's More Options > Advanced > Export > LastPass CSV File to create a CSV file. Using KeePass' Import LastPass CSV mostly worked. However any "&" characters in passwords now were "&amp;" (bug opened) .. which a quick (re)export in the "KeePass XML (2.x)" file format, with a Search & Replace of "&amp;amp;" by "&amp;" and (XML) re-import fixed."

I used Meshimer in the past, if I remember correctly I paid $30 per device.
By GenTech (vcf is now managed by GenTech) you have the 5th device free

No i did not. I used plan B.

To be fair, I did reach out to them, and they responded right away that one issue they are working on, ant the other they will look into.
But as others have said, locks are not for burgulars. I knew about the vulnerability, possibly only on some phones, (though I have a fairly common model) but I am suprised that my kids figgured it out also.

Chaikel, lol...you don't need to "mention" openDNS to him. He has professionals who have been working on this for quite a while now. They are working on a system much more secure and complex (from what I understand) than opendns which is basic basic basic.

Did this ever happen?  Is it one of the filters listed in the thread wiki now?

I just found a major loophole with Meshimer filter (and all livigent based filters that cover skin color)
Namely... it does not not filter out black women at all, even when they are not dressed tzniyosdig...

Now i'm trying to find another way to control my yetzer hora as I can no longer rely on them...

They are, but not everything is the same. Since the system is hosted by themselves it depends in each of then respectively to upgrade to newer versions, which they aren't doing right away.

Nothing's perfect but I have Livigent (I think it's called GenTech now). Seems to do the job.
