Can anyone recommend specific site blockers / apps they use and reccomend.

I'm struggling to figure it out and I'm not tech savvy at all.

NSPCC website; has kid friendly guidance and sites and links kids can report stuff to.

internet matters.org has a good page with sections for each device....

They're really good. Sometimes your internet provider will have a page telling you how to set things up on your internet or particular phone!

the internet watch foundation iwf have been campaigning for providers to put more restrictions in to protect kids.....they might be good too.



we got our internet provider to put all the child restrictions on. I've not got a specific app. I keep nagging my person to put it on his phone but no luck yet.

Hi holding the grenade,

thank you so much. I've done the blocking via the internet provider, however it doesn't block the one specific website my person uses to access other forums as it's a .com site and the filter only lets you block .co.uk sites

Can anyone reccomend a app that can block .com domains?

Thank you
