For Android

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)

https://www.opendns.com/ (can be used in routers or directly in PC) - Free

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

I need a phone that works without phone service thru wifi to access the internet, and can be filtered w/o greatly slowing down the internet.
Is K9 better on Android?
What Android phone can I buy cheaply that can use wifi w/o having phone service?

TIA

very bad browser! most of the time when clicking on a link it will not open, you have to copy and paste the link every time, very annoying. and even for regular pages to load, you may need to refresh 3-4 times

Apple have their own restrictions in the settings that can filter adult content in the safari browser. You set it with a four digit code, so you can have someone else set it up for you.

k9 on an iphone is not customizable, for instance social media is not blocked.

I think you can block video, and you customize which websites to block in addition to many other things.

nice! Is it as foolproof as k9?
Does it have categories of websites to block such as "Social Media", "Arts and Entertainment" "Open Image"?

Foolproof but they actually sometimes block regular websites for some reason, so you might want to be around the person with your code like your wife etc, for example DDF is blocked! and needs to be allowed with the code!
They don't have those categories

This is something I am a bit confused about. The PC can have its own dns setting? What if it is different from the routers setting?

Yes it can have its own - slows it down though.
Go to adapter settings, click on IPv4 - Properties, DNS.

Probably because it can be uninstalled someway... But I dont want to know that...

For me the having to ask wife reinstal it for me, remember her password, email etc. is such a pain, it is enough of a deterrent  :D
It's a lot easier than uninstalling. The only way to completely be filtered is to lock settings and download a settings app
