Best way I've found to block adult sites and distractions!!

First time joining and posting. Forgive me if I did something wrong, hope this is posted in the right place...

[This is for blocking on PC, I also have a solution for smart phones that works for me if anyone is interested I will post about that.]

I just found the freakin best method for blocking porn and even scheduling distracting sites like Youtube!
First, use a DNS filter.
Here is a list of DNS filters (I use CleanBrowsing adult):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yandex (IPv4)

77.88.8.3

77.88.8.7

CleanBrowsing

Family

IPv4 address: 185.228.168.168 and 185.228.169.168

IPv6 address: 2a0d:2a00:1:: and 2a0d:2a00:2::

Adult (Best)

IPv4 address: 185.228.168.10 and 185.228.169.11

IPv6 address: 2a0d:2a00:1::1 and 2a0d:2a00:2::1
------------------------------------------------------------------------

(To set DNS go to Settings, Network & Internet, look for Change Adaptor Options under Advanced Network Settings, click Wi-Fi, a window called Wi-Fi Status pops up, click Properties, Wi-Fi Properties pops up, now enter the two IPv4 codes from above into the listing labeled labeled IPv4, and do the same for IPv6.)

Now, this is easy enough, but the problem is that when you get tempted you can just disable the DNS settings. Here is where a program called Cold Turkey comes in.

Search the internet for Cold Turkey and download. There is a free version and paid version. There is also a 7-day free trial if you want to test first. The paid version is a ONE-TIME PAYMENT and is NOT subscription based. The paid cost $40, but there is also a student discount. I usually NEVER pay for digital stuff, but I bought this and did not regret it! It is well worth the money and I count it as best $40 I ever spent!! Having said that, for this to work I am pretty sure you must use the paid version, unless you can figure out how to use this program another way to block everything you want…

So, open Cold Turkey, create a block and select “Application”. This allows you to block a file, application, or setting on your PC. Select “Add Window Title” and type “Wi-Fi Properties”.
Now this is IMPORTANT: Make sure the DNS settings are correctly entered. Set up this block for 5 minutes ONLY. This will allow you to test. Test extensively. Once you are happy, I recommend NEVER blocking more than three months at a time. Something may come up where you need to change something. You have the option to block nearly forever. I just would not do it. With three months you can reevaluate every three months. You can always add sites and settings to block but cannot take them back. You should have enough willpower to re-block every three months if it is satisfactory.

Almost done, you will need to add proxy sites and some adult sub-reddits that do not fall under NSFW even though they should be. Add *.*Proxy* should autoblock all proxy sites but maybe a few. From here you can easily add any site you find that slipped thru the DNS cracks. Just have enough willpower that when you stumble along something you want blocked, add the URL to the blocked list immediately. You will build additional willpower and confidence this way.

You should not have to worry about unsupported browsers, as they will automatically be blocked.

Lastly, make a “distractions” block list. (There is one already present with sites like Facebook and YouTube listed already. Add any sites you like to this list.) You can set certain restrictions on these sites like a time allowance or certain times of the day where they are viewable or blocked. I have scheduled social media and YouTube like sites to be unviewable when I should be sleeping, with a 1-hour allowance during the day, and completely allowed from 5Pm to 9PM. This works great for me and I find a 1-hour allowance is more than enough. Oh, and on Sat I let distractions be open all day.

If anyone is interested, I also have solutions for smart phones, although not as straight forward as using Cold Turkey!

This has worked well for me! I had already made some long streaks without this, but I find I ALWAYS eventually fail. This is just an additional weapon in your arsenal and can be a ‘fap-saver’ when your willpower may be low.

I hope this helps!
Thank you for your time!
