My way is to block the internet at study times and only let education-related site be available, block the porn sites at all times for them, with a wifi router.
as long as the internet is on for kids, it's really hard for them to get off-hooked without some strict (technical) rules in house, talking with them did not work for us after many trying, wifi is the only thing works when it is needed(e.g. study time, or no-game time, or no-internet time).
I have been thinking this self-customized wifi might have a market actually, it worked well for us so far, once the study-mode is on, there is no way they can get around to it, not even with tor-browser or any proxy server or vpn(technically this is the hardest part, but I pulled it off), and they can actually focus on studying(these days many home work requires internet to be on, so you have to manage the sites, and you can not just turn internet off).
- patrickdavey 4y ago? How did you pull that off? Can they not just set their own DNS so you can't block them finding sites, and then if they're communicating over tor how do you even know what they're looking at? Most impressive!
- synergy20 4y agoit took me 3 years to figure out(as one of my kids kept finding ways to bypass it, who was a game addict, that forced me to improve the design), it's a combination of different approaches to make the whole thing work at low cost, my kids said it is much more 'clean' comparing to their school wifi network, where they can bypass easily with some free VPN software and proxy server, and kids exchange their findings, so campus-network to them is pretty much fully open.
