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.

Anyone with techloq suddenly unable to open any web page? Ping works fine but websites just tell me "This site can't be reached".

No clue if it's techloq related but a different computer on the same network is working just fine.

Funny you should say that. Sibling of mine using a pixel has the same issue. Just texted me if my broswer works. I'm using a galaxy and works just fine.

Techloq
So I wonder if it's really related! Guess I should probably wait and see if anything changes overnight.

I tried that last night and it didn't help. But something must have changed overnight since now it's working B"H.

Hello anyone else having issues with NetFree blocking MDY on youtube? The channel used to have all videos open but now the while the channel is still open, ALL ENGLISH VIDEOS lead to the send this video for review page. At the same time all Hebrew ones work.

I’m wondering if anyone can assist me. I have an iPhone that is whitelisted. I was always able to use the Amazon app fine until today. In order to do a return with ups drop off, it now requires you to pick a location. That pop up doesn’t show up in my app. Anyone have any idea what website that would be? So I can add it to my white list? (Ups is already allowed in my list, so it clearly isn’t that.)

Got MB smart recently.

Looks like my device is now considered “jailbroken”. Did the instillation of the filter do that?

Anyway to fix this?

Did you try turning on location services through settings?

It's about time Techloq fixed the loophole where embedded videos were allowed and would bypass the filter on youtube.
