I know this may sound weird to some of you but I have been looking for a way to block pornography in windows mobile. The easiest way I could think to do this was to simply add a content filtering proxy to the data connection but I am having problems finding a proxy that will let me do that (without installation).
So I guess my questions are:
1. does anyone know of a content filtering proxy that will allow me to sign up and pay for an account to block pornography or do it for free?
OR
2. Does anyone have a program to install that will allow me to do this some other way?
Thanks for your help
How about Cilice?
You will find some information here....

hahahahahaha
not sure if its compatible with the cell phone, but have you tried to set your dns to opendns.com. I use them as my DNS provider at home (they are free) and you can control what is available...
What are you doing that makes you need a content filter?

I like the cilice idea - very humorous. But seriously, as blancmik points out I would recommend using opendns. It's free to setup. Usage depends on how you browse the Internet. If you're browsing via WiFi from home, then you can configure your router to use OpenDNS, and manage your settings from there. Most likely your IP won't change too frequently so you may get away without bothering over your dynamic IP address. But I'd also recommend using the OpenDNS Updater software on your home PC, along with the free service DNS-O-Matic. That way as your WAN IP changes from your service provider, you can still browse using your OpenDNS filtering.
But if you're using your device on your carriers data plan, then your IP could change more frequently. It's a little trickier because I'm not sure if a dynamic DNS updater application exists for Windows Mobile. So when your IP changes you'd have to either manually update your free OpenDNS account. Or update your DNS-O-Matic account. Doable, but it would be annoying.
If you are on T-mobile you can activate the WebGuard and that will filter all adult themed content. It is done server side before the data reaches your phone so that could be an option for you.
How to change the DNS ADDRESS with help of creating dummy VPN service without help of any application .
With help of application is possible
Like
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.burakgon.dnschanger
That app use dummy vpn for dns change
But
why we need app ??
Please try to discover the configuration of vpn for dnschanger app
All android have inbuilt vpn service application
So we can establish the vpn service without help of any app.
- FireOS 5.6.0.0 removed the VPN options from Settings on my Fire HD 8 tablet.
- I have my own router which acts as a VPN server (L2TP with pre-shared Key).
- Is there an app (in Google Play store) that would allow me to set up that VPN connection (now I can no longer do it the 'normal' way in Settings)?
I'm not looking to use a third-party commercial VPN service provider (like NordVPN), simply to be able to make a VPN connection back to my own VPN router (i.e. add my own L2TP over IPSec VPN: IP address, username, password and pre-shared key).
Maybe there is an app designed for a commercial service which allows you to add your own personal VPN server - I just can find it. Any ideas?
If not, any other suggestion to reinstate the VPN settings option? Thanks
Apologies for the similar post elsewhere (it was a reply to a broader issue so got a bit lost and no-one replied!)
did you ever get anywhere with this? the software for my VPN (PureVPN) only has TCP and UDP as options, and I really need to get PPTP or L2TP working on my kindle fire HD 8 (7th gen)...! Cheers.
did anyone figure out how to set up manual vpn on the fire 10? so frustrating! would love to know how.... i have set up several vpn connections manually on my galaxy note 8 phone and it works great!
Hi friends, i try to secure my children phones from accessing not wonted sites. At home i configured mikrotik router so there is no way to bypass restrictions. But i cannot control what they access from mobile network.
The ideal way would be to connect phone to home VPN . Is there a way to force phone use VPN so user could not just switch it off?
In that case all home network rules and restrictions would work.
If you have some ideas about it, please share.
P.S. I did it recently when noticed that 8 year old neighbor children are watching porn...
I never tried it, but you could check if "Multiple users" gives you the chance to create a low privileged user which could maybe not edit network/vpn/dns settings?
Maybe you could setup the main accounts &co from the admin user and secure it with your fingerprint, then grant your childs just the "guest" user access?
Maybe give it a try and check what those users (a new one you create or the guest one) are allowed to do and if that achieves your objective

My mother utilized Norton Family to limit what could be seen and not seen. You can also utilize the built in family link ability from google to block searches on google and app store. Link for reference: https://protectyoungeyes.com/content/android-parental-controls-complete-guide-parents/
As far as what you are asking, you could use adguard to create the persistent VPN and use their family dns set up. Once done you can always use an app locker to lock the app settings and the app itself so it can't be uninstalled.
maybe you can test an app locker. with it, they can't stop the app vpn if they haven't the code lock

You can use an APP locker to lock the settings.
If you can't access the settings you can't turn it off.

Try private dns: dns-family.adguard.com

One problem with the "lock the VPN settings" is that the VPN swithes off fairly randomly. On my phone, I set up a VPN using my home router, and connect to it while on mobile. But at random points in the day it disconnects. It's necessary to go back into VPN settings to turn it back on...

I already use opendns, it blocks everything.
I do not see option to add just dns in android. Child just installs some vpn app or connects to some wifi and restrictions does not work.
On other hand if phone is connected to home vpn, there is no way to bypass it.
My microtik bloks all proxy, vpn and routes dns to opendns.
thanks for app locker suggestion. will try it

It's under Wi-Fi and internet setting but only available for Android 9 version. The adguard family dns blocks ad and adult stuff also.
Hello...
I have a Mi Box S device. It has the lastest updates.
Basically - what I am trying to do is when my VPN is up, an app is allowed to run (so do nothing). When the VPN is down, block the app.
I do not have ROOT.
I have tried various firewalls on the device that do not need ROOT and blocks apps - but they work by creating a separate VPN connection for the device. When I switch on my VPN, the firewall stops working. When I switch my VPN off, the firewall needs to be manually started.
If I had ROOT, I would edit IPTABLES to block everything except the IP \ PORTS needed for my VPN to work, and that would solve the issue. No apps would have Internet access until my VPN was active.
Ideas welcome. I am not against rooting the device - however - for the newest versions of the Android TV boxes, it seems to cause many more issues and does not seem to be worth the risk.
THANK YOU!
I do NOT know the answer to your question and I don't have Android TV, so ignore this if it doesn't help...
On the PC there are various VPN killswitch batch files that simply remove the LAN gateway, which works PERFECTLY to do what you ask on a PC:
Start VPN and then start the VPN killswitch
If the VPN is on, the LAN and WAN are accessed
The instant the VPN drops, the WAN is dropped
But the LAN remains intact
Maybe something like that is available for Android?
Googling, we get a lot of hits for Android VPN-specific killswitches.
Each Android public VPN server seems to have their own killswitch.
For example, here's one for private vpn on Android.
But there should be a killswitch for Android WITHOUT having to use any given VPN public server.
This hit implies it's a part of the Android settings.
But unfortunately my Android 12 doesn't have those VPN killswitch settings.
Does yours?
Solved. Admittedly - this solution works for me but might not work for others.
I host my own VPN server 'in the cloud' and, as part of that server, it's own DNS server.
Manually set the IP and DNS on the Mi Box S. Set the DNS to an INTERNAL DNS address that is only available when the VPN is running.
The app in question needs DNS to function. When the VPN is down, no functioning DNS, app does not function.
When the VPN is up, DNS functions, the app functions.
Good enough for me...
