So glad i dont have to worry about any of this. When I was a kid the worst thing I had to worry about was someone finding my stash of dirty magazines.

Thanks. Any opinion on which is better, open dns or googles?

Not a parent, I work on the...down stream end of them getting in trouble. I would say that's a patently wrong assertion given recent trends. It's also not just bad kids that get in trouble, it's good kids who get bored and make jack ass decisions, coupled with unfettered access WAY to early, and parent's not keeping an eye on what they're doing/seeing/hearing. I'm sure my thread stalker will be along to blast me shortly with "you're not a parent!!!!!11!!! you don't know what you're talking about and don't get an opinion!!!!@12%#!^!@^$^!!!1111", just like he did on the AO thread talking about giving a child with a single digit age a smart phone with internet access, but I really don't care. I watch it with my mothers 3rd graders, and from my own work perspective, and see the damage allowing kids un-fettered access to the absolute idiots, and nut-bags, on youtube, reddit, and many other sights.
cro, it's not the porn I'd be worried about. Yes there is a risk of....warping perspectives, but hell even the kink scene is discussed openly in the MSM and on network television. It's the absolute idiotic crap that is most of the "entertainment" they run across I think does more damage. Go watch a pewdiepie style live stream sometime and lose a few IQ points with them.

Look up Circle by Disney. It is a hardware device that connects to the router.
I just got one and have only played with it a little, but so far I like it. Can set limits easily. Can control multiple devices networks access for the kid.
Best option I have found so far in my search for this type of control. Though still not perfect.
