- Head over to Chrome -> Click on Search Settings -> Turn on Safe Search.
Once both settings are turned on. Try searching Adult content on your device and you will see it will prevent you from you doing it.
2: Use OpenDNS
This is the best way to block Inappropriate and porn Websites. Moreover, the good thing about OpenDNS is, it is not limited to only Porn, it will also help you block illegal activity, video sharing, and more. Also, use OpenDNS is pretty simple even a layman can do it.
However, if you have enabled data saver settings, Open DNS settings won’t work for you. Once you are connected to an Internet connection, you will be using their ISP’s DNS. But when you will replace them with the Open DNS, every request made from your device will first pass through OpenDNS server. If they find it inappropriate, they will block it and you won’t be able to access it.
- Head over to Settings -> WiFi -> Selec your connected network -> Advance Option -> Change DNS Setting.
Now add the following DNS and save the Settings.
- DNS 1: 208.67.222.123
- DNS 2: 208.67.220.123
Before we move on let tell you a bit more about Open DNS. They have a very big team working behind the scene whenever a new Porn Website makes its way to the World Wide Web. This new URL is automatically gets updated in the OpenDNS. Moreover, create a free account on Open DNS, set your own filters. Also, you can use Open DNS settings on your router as well, through this, Adult content will be blocked on devices connected to your router.
The only downside to Open DNS is, anyone, can bypass these settings by using a VPN or Proxy. Moreover, it is easy to change the Open DNS on your device.

But we recommend the CleanBrowsing App because it is easy to use and will do the work for you. You may have one issue, it’s a new app and right now privacy is not that good. But since we want our kids to use this app, privacy won’t be a concern.
- Download and Install the CleanBrowsing App from the links given above.
- Open it and head over to the Settings -> Password protection -> Set Password.
