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)

Is there an option in place of K9? I am happy to pay for it , I just need it to have the ability to enter a blocked site with a password.

Data Point.

With Techloq, when trying to watch a video on Youtube we are re-directed to 613tube.
You can do that yourself with 613tube chrome extention: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/613-tube/eaopblpjlkbgaadjbahmafepfegaigfb

I believe 613 has nothing to do with techloq except that they use it just Leno anyone melds could use it
But apparently Techloq is using their service.

Ironically, Techloq blocks access to that link.

Perhaps because it's not https?

Are there any routers/modems with built in (adequate) filtering capabilities?
Settled on any specific option?

Have someone at Techloq customize your categories according to your needs/wants. It is not a big deal from them to do so. Will be easier than doing one site at a time. Ask them to go through the catogories with you one at a time, and let them know if you want it open totally, with greyed out images, or blocked. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to go through all the categories.

Recently got Gen Tech works amazing.
I guess i'll be looking into that. Wrong board to be discussing this, will take it to the filter thread.
  One of my reasons i wanted a filter with a proxy vs a VPN was to extend the battery life of my device.
   If have a vpn running in the background, like netspark or gentech its draining the battery, vs a proxy there's nothing running except when searching its a tad slower as its running through a proxy.
  Also a proxy is horrible as well as half of the websites don't work.

not working when i click add to bag
i had the same problem and it seems like htis time they are somehow using facebook url. Could it be my filter blocked it?

Has anyone had it that specific buttons on websites are blocked because of filters (Gentch/Techloq), eg the 'place in cart' button doesnt do anything?

Not me, so far.
But only with them for about a month.

Try with a random coin. What happens?

One mildly annoying experience I have with Techloq is that approximately every 10 web pages I will get the attached message.
I never had this before I installed the filter.
It's not a big deal, since I just have to click "try again" or refresh to get the desired page.

Using wifi or mobile data ? Seems like it's a desktop?

 Just curious why did you go with techloq over gentech?

2 -  Just curious why did you go with techloq over gentech?
1 - Laptop using wifi. Why would this be happening?
2 - I got the impression from around here that it slows down the system the least. Why, what do you feel?

I still haven't gotten clear if there are people in these internet filter companies that see your browsing history or are the filters running automatically unless a special request is made?

On NetFree they do not collect anything and if you need them to open something you need to record it yourself and send it to them using their Internet Traffic Recording tool.

Thanks.
How about Techlog, Gentech & Nativ?
