Some people try to prevent their children or themselves from consuming pornography. Unfortunately this is getting more and more difficult, even using filters and parental programs on the computer and smartphone. In this article I will explain how to block 100% of the pornographic content of your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem of pornography <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter if the person is religious or an atheist, many realized that pornography only harms and strives to lead a lifestyle nofap<\/strong>. As much as sexual desires are natural, pornography is just a mental trap that deceives you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most porn addicts cannot stop and end up degrading their sexual appetite in a degrading way, becoming totally dependent and still considering it as normal and healthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who really open their eyes know that pornography can damage relationships, cause anxiety, depression, stress, social phobia, discouragement, laziness, negativity, sexual dysfunction, premature ejaculation, sexual impotence, erectile dysfunction, lack of interest in sex and many other problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"-\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Not to mention that watching pornography is anything but productive. Many spend half a day consuming such material, time that could be used productively, to work, undertake, exercise or gain knowledge. Then he complains about this generation being extremely stupid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what people say, I see absolutely nothing positive from pornography. Because of this misfortune, I became an anxious, lonely, shy, stressed, nervous, perverted, depressed and negative person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How I Fight Pornography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This plague took over my life for a long time, now I am able to control it thanks to many years of fighting experience, drastic measures taken and improvement of filters and parental programs. It was not easy, it is a daily struggle, especially for someone single. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately I am very smart when it comes to computers. I can circumvent and find fault with any filter. It took years for the filters to be improved in such a way that I can\u2019t get around them anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"-\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Many sacrifices were necessary. I had to get rid of Google on iOS, Telegram (which I think is far superior to whatsapp), Google Driver, Tumblr, Twitter, download sites, torrent sites, I even had to sell my PS4 because of pornography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just didn't sacrifice Facebook and Instagram because, fortunately, they improved their filter, making it practically impossible to find pornography. Still it is possible to find sexy images and videos. I only use such social networks because of work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, after many modifications, my phone and tablet does not allow the installation of applications, it only allows the connection to sites that I have configured as allowed, in addition to having a time limit. This avoids any possibility of finding loopholes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What filters and parenting programs to use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As I use iOS and macOS, it is a bit tricky to recommend parental programs and content filters for Windows users. I know there are better ones, but K9 and Qustodio are the ones I tested on macOS and are also available for Windows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O K9<\/strong> it was the best content filter I found so far. Unfortunately it has been discontinued and has stopped receiving updates. In macOS, it slows down the browser and can crash the computer. Still, he is superior! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advantage of K9<\/strong> is that it allows you to block any URL that has a certain word. Most other filters allow the addition of links only. Another advantage is that it cuts off internet access if you enter a certain number of blocked pages. Not to mention that it allows you to add links without having to access the administration panel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"-\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another very popular program is the Qustodio<\/strong>, which has a great free content filter. With it I block categories such as social networks, forums, search portals and download and streaming sites. It also blocks unknown websites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paid version of Qustodio can block access to applications and place a time limit. It can also monitor social networks and send notifications to the family administrator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacOS Catalina received a native content filter and parental control system called Screen Time. It is great, despite being inefficient in some browsers (at least in the first version). Despite being a strong filter, it does not block all pages and does not allow the addition of website categories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"-\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I currently use the native macOS + Qustodio + DNS filter from Cleanbrowsing + Router Filter. The macOS filter can block connections within applications. Qustodio blocks the internet on other unsupported browsers. Together they become a powerful filter, preventing access to any site with adult content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remembering that for filters to take effect, you cannot have the password, not even the password recovery email. Find a trusted friend or relative to store your filter's password and email. Get more than one friend, one will die with the password. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Perfect Filter<\/strong> \u2013 Personally, I believe that a perfect filter has to block applications, links, keyword links, prevent certain terms from being typed and pasted, block access to the computer after a number of attempts, time limit per application, adding sites to block list without having admin access, force the use of a DNS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blocking porn from your smartphone <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I use iOS usage time to block all of that. If I want to update the applications or make changes, I ask the person who has the password to type and configure the filter. Personally I do not recommend blocking adult sites, I block them all and leave a white list, otherwise you always end up finding a loophole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don't know of any good filters for Android, but I believe it is not difficult to find one by searching on Google. The problem with blocking mobile pornography is that many applications transfer data in a way that it is not possible to block. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As much as your phone has filters, you can easily download a social networking application like tumblr, twitter or even whatsapp, to search and view pornography. If your situation is serious, better block the installation of new apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"-\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the native iOS filter, there are loopholes that do not force safe search within an application's internal browsers. There are sites that clearly have an adult keyword that the filter simply cannot block. You can't always trust filters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember a case where a YouTube channel with a name doing well was blocked, but searches for gifs with explicitly indecent words were ignored. Sometimes the filter failed because of the addition of a letter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was for these reasons that I decided to completely block access to unspecified sites and limit the time in each application. In a way, this is a good thing that avoids wasting time and makes my work much more productive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using DNS to block pornography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can block pornography in your home using DNS on your router or computer. A DNS is a type of address that connects your computer to the internet. Everything is passed in this DNS before arriving at your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DNS<\/strong> is the acronym in English for Domain Name System (System of Names and Domains, in Portuguese), responsible for decoding the domain names of the websites that people type in web browsers in IP numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are DNS that block pornographic sites and other deceptive and harmful sites for your computer and cell phone. Unfortunately, a DNS can be easily circumvented if the person has computer skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prevent someone from changing the DNS configured on a computer. You can install a program that blocks access to Network settings. You can also use a router that accepts connection only in a specific DNS (they are expensive). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most famous porn blocking DNS is called Open DNS. Unfortunately I don't think it is that efficient, so I strongly recommend using the Cleanbrowsing<\/strong> that blocks virtually all gaps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend adding these codes below to your router's DNS settings. If you don't have access and the filter is for people without computer experience, you can add it in the network settings. Follow the IPs below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
