Internet Filters

What would it bring to the table that Gentech doesn't already offer?

Me thinks he works for Techloq.
  Ironic to see this as a personal text on his profile.

So he should be the perfect one to answer the question... We shall see.

Guys
Heard from a trusted source that Techloq is about to roll out a android filter in the next 2 months.. This should solve all issues.

i heard about it as well, without a time frame though

I guess we'll see of there's any competition.
I would be curious to know if Techloq if as thorough as Gentech.

Gentech has issues connecting to public wifi, and errors out constantly. Techloq has solved this issue very well on the PC version.

Can't comment on this since I never need to do this.

Gentech ... errors out constantly.

Not on my phone. Pretty much never.

Netspark has this issue as well, and makes me restart my phone every time I connect.

I wonder what the filter companies/TAG are going to do regarding Whatsapp once they launch "Channels"
It seems it will be like Telegram, which is terrible.....

Are there any recommendations for a computer filter where blocked sites can be unblocked with a password? For a shared computer.

don't know of any computer filter like that but you can use OpenDNS on router and change whatever you'd like and when

Thanks!
I know K9 used to work like that, hoping to find something.

What do people do when one user wants very filtered internet and one user wants lightly filtered internet?

K9

Wow! One of the first filters I've bypassed!

IINM, some filters have multiple profiles, that you can log in and out of for different preset access

I have Techloq with different filtering levels for different users tied to their windows login.

Not having much luck with filters these days. I find each filter company is worse than the next.

 Tried Purifeye-No good. 
  Netspark- Didn't work well for me.
  Gentech- Current filter I have on my device. But literally I have to contact them 5 times a day to request a site or app to be unblocked or why yesterday it worked and today it doesn't. If they can't help then I need to call in to support and kill another 20 min.
  Apps work slow, with many having issues. For example I wasn't able to book a trip from my chase app. Chatted 3 times and no luck. Called 2 times and last agent managed to get it to work. Though it crashes the 1st time and the 2nd time around it usually goes.  While I want a filter on my phone, I also wanted to be on my phone for less time, with half the sites and apps being blocked that I don't technically need. For example Twitter. Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and alike are all blocked. Except for YouTube on the browser works for select sites. (Though even a blocked YouTube video you can get around real easy). Not saying it's a perfect filter. But definitely better than the others I have tried. But casues me to waste more time on the phone being that everything takes double as long. Which is real annoying.
 The filter doesn't seem to be so complex, for $160 from each client I'm not sure why they can't come out with a solid filter all around.

 What's my option for my next filter to try? Or is there no perfect or decent filter and...
