They are very effective. They block all proxy sites and all sources of proxy software. Tor is a source to obtain proxy software.

- rmc 15y agoI highly doubt they are effective at stopping teenagers/under 18s from getting access to porn. They might be effective at stopping access to www.pornotub.com, www.imagefap.com and some other sites, but that is not the same as begin effective at blocking porno. I'd like to see figures.

- burgerbrain 15y agoWait, so we're worried about 8 year olds buying a phone, learning how to use tor on their phone, then using tor to obtain pornography? No, I suspect whoever implemented this never actually thought to sit down and figure out exactly what their goal was. They're just firing blindly without real reason.
- bwarp 15y agoIt's called due dilligence. All it takes is one clever individual to fill a school up with tor-users, much as Napster spread like wildfire.

- onemoreact 15y agoThe only way that's possible is if you block all websites. As information hosted on a website at any time. Not to mention 'user created content' assuming these things have a camera.
- rmc 15y agoWell you can be effective without being 100%. It's pretty hard to block Al Qeadia from communicating on the internet, but the average person will not be able to communicate with them easily. However, most porno filters can sometimes be bypassed in 5 mins.
