Porn blocker recommendations for phones

Self control

 

I have Covenant Eyes but that's another subscription service, works well but not bulletproof

 

Do you need internet access for work? If not, get a flip phone for talk & text & no internet. If you really have strong urges, you can bypass any porn blocker, unless you give your wife or SO permission to set it up with their password, so not very effective? Almost all of my phone usage is apps. Play games, pay bills, instagram & flickr, I love taking pictures.
I avoid the internet, unless absolutely necessary & then it is in & out.
I've cut down my phone use a lot. I stay busy doing other things.

 

Best thing about CE is that it's Accountability Software. If you have a good accountability partner, this can be more powerful than just a blocker. Best blocker though is daily investment in your life.

 

I do have an accountability partner now, its actually mutual so there's even more motivation

 

Try Safe Surfer. It's an IOS app and I believe it's one for Android as well. Works absolutely great. It even blocks content on apps you've downloaded.

 

thanks Spirale. I diving more deeper with 16th day monk mode in married life. I have to reduce watching nudity and advertisements, youtube channels. I am computer engineer and I have blocked porn all possible way. Still if you search for something google, next time in browser google will show you similar results, just like that.. We are facing AI or our own created monsters (like in sifi movies) but bitter truth.

 

blockers dont work!
i have used a variety and there is always a way around them and even when you double up on the blocks, still doesnt work

the end goal is to control your mind over the temptation, not have a piece of tech make it easier

 

I would say, don’t test poison by tasting it.. poison will hurt immediately or later
In other words, don’t test porn block site by try watching porn..get it out of system for good.

 

depends on the person, but for me i always figured a way around them
and that became part of the chase

 

If at all possible, get yourself a dumb phone. iOS built-in restrictions are pretty ironclad. Do it right and you will need to reset the phone (includes encrypting phone so you can’t hack the passcode). Restrict connections to the iPhone server on your laptop/desktop (hosts file) and you can even use iTunes without being able to reset the phone. You’d need to travel somewhere to use another computer.

Androids, however, have a fatal flaw. If you are the kind of person who keeps looking for some loophole, you will continue to fail if you continue using Androids. Eventually, you will find this flaw. You can waste years continually finding loopholes, as I did. Do yourself a favor and take extreme measures from the very start.

 

thank you
what do you use now?

 

It’s taken me quite a lot of time to figure out a good system. Now, I use the built-in iOS restrictions on my phone (whitelist only). On my computer, I use the hosts file, K9, and Covenant Eyes (I have found that K9 fails at certain times and, strangely, over certain WiFi networks). In addition, I have modified and restricted my access to BIOS.

 

I use 1Blocker X for safari. It doesn’t mean much without self control though

 

Dr Web with URL FILTER or open DNS, it works very very good!

 

What OS do you have on your phone? Android or Ios?
