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
here it is

Better than gentech?
i had gentech and switched to techloq
much happier with techloq they are all around faster and smoother
it also took me half the time to set things up the way i need them after installing techloq vs gentech which i had for months and still wasn't fully settled

The devices might have manually set DNS servers.

OpenDNS didn't work on my PC at all.  I think I set it up correctly.
My favorite cause: cssy.org

How do you set a mobile phone to the right DNS servers?

Check if your IP address is still the same. I've had it change on me once and it automatically disabled the filter.

Put in the OpenDNS server addresses, 208.67. 222.222 and 208.67. 220.220, as your DNS server settings on your router

Open DNS makes an app which will update your IP with them automatically once it is installed on one computer on your network.

what's a good free filter for a phone ?
The only option is on Iphones you could have restrictions on and Tag has your password

Is there any filter that can filter based on trade? For example; I'm an electrician, is there a filter that will allow stuff that affiliated with electricians and block all the other trash?
Categories are how any base works you block everything except what you need
