    frnds,
    I watch P mostly in my ipad.I used a dns to block but atlast i changed the settings and relapsed.
    As in a thread,the only way to block in ipad is to use that restriction option and do it.But it needs a pin.So is there a way to forget ur pin or any idea where something like a pin generator or smthing.I dont have anyone to set up a pin without my notice,so any idea
    Or is the restriction option the only way?

    I am not a big believer of software blocking porn. It's too easy to unblock it, unless you involve other people...
    It can be an extra thing to help you, but only parental control won't do it in my opinion. You need extra tools to help us from overcoming our addiction.

    Ask yourself, do you really need the iPad? Can't you replace it with another device that allows more possibilities to block porn?
    I have left mine in my work office. There it's almost impossible to watch porn, and I wouldn't anyway because of the risk being caught.

    At my home office, it is very easy though. I also always used my iPad as I don't want to surf to porn on my work computer.
    Since I deliberately leave my iPad at work, it is much easier to refrain from watching porn... I am thinking of giving it away now... I don't really need an iPad anymore...
    Together with reading this forum, doing exercises when I feel the urge coming up, and having deleted all porn images I had stored, it helps me in my process. (at least till now)

    My two cents, hope it inspires you.

    Good luck!

    I used a free app called mobicip. I set it up and let my mom come up with a password. Just be aware that since this is a free program i isn't the greatest. For example, i often find it blocking other things that are not inappropriate which can be irritating. Also to be honest ive come to realize that internet blockers are not the best tool for me. there are ways around them and ive found that true recovery comes by having self control.

    That bing said however, I dont want to discourage you at all from getting an internet blocker. They can be a huge help to get through the first stages of this addiciton. I wish you the best of luck!
