How to block porn sites?
5 ways to block porn sites on your device
Nowadays everyone has easy access to the internet, even kids. And once they have access to the Internet, they are open to all sorts of things, even porn. According to Pornography & Public Health Research Summary prepared by the National Center On Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE), 93% of boys and 62% of girls had seen Internet pornography during adolescence. A nationally representative survey found that 64% of young people, ages 13–24, actively seek out pornography weekly or more often. It might be hard to believe in these numbers but porn is all over the internet and you cannot stop it. But you can control it on your computer and protect your kids from unwanted content. Here are 5 ways to block porn on your device:
The Family Friendly DNS app is a DNS changer application allowing its users to filter out and block hazardous, malicious and corrupting internet websites, including pornography sites. The DNS servers used within the application are controlled and provided by third-party DNS providers, while the application acts as a tool allowing you to set up and make use of such DNS servers in a simple and swift way.
Family Friendly DNS is a free app available on Windows OS.
SPIN Safe Browser is a free web filter that blocks pornography, inappropriate and malicious content to provide a safe internet surfing experience. SPIN also makes the most popular video searching platform safer by automatically invoking its Restricted mode.

TinyFilter is a light-weight and free web content filtering application which monitors browser activities and blocks inappropriate or offensive content. The extension helps you fully customize your filtering preferences and sensitivity settings so that any inappropriate or offensive content is filtered. It also provides a password to unlock the filtering function so it would keep your family members, especially your kids, safe while surfing the internet.

You can filter explicit search results on Google, like pornography, with the SafeSearch setting. SafeSearch isn’t 100% accurate. But it can help you avoid explicit and inappropriate search results on your phone, tablet, or computer. When SafeSearch is on, it helps block explicit images, videos, and websites from Google Search results. When SafeSearch is off, it provides the most relevant results for your search and may include explicit content when you search for it.
Ask your internet service provider (ISP)
Simply call your ISP. Every company designs its own features differently so your internet connection may offer parental controls, content filters, or other screen-time-management features that will effectively limit exposure to porn. Just have in your minds that you may have to pay because this kind of service can cost additional money.
I hope this article will help you find the most suitable way to block porn sites and keep yourself and your family protected from harmful online content.
