Which internet filter do you use?

A) K9
B) Netspark

I don’t have internet

I use the filter that Hashem gave me.

Netspark for phone, GenTech for computer. I dont like either one.
Netspark is ok, but it seems to work as a VPN or similar as every page seems to load twice.
I would not recommend GenTech for kids, as things slip through

does anyone know why k9 allows youtube when it is supposed to be blocked? thanks.

Applock

K9 hasn’t been updated in about five years. Does it block inappropriate sites that are newer than its last update?

Cisco umbrella Prosumer, works great and quick, only $20 per year for 3 devices (not for android)

Kapersky safekids for android, free

“and I use the Chabad beis din as admins”
Never heard of it. Care to share?

For home Internet, Clean Router is a good choice. It replaces your router and filters every device that connects to your network. There’s another similar one called Kibosh which is quite a bit cheaper but is very similar. Kiboshs mobile filter is not very good. Clean Router also has one but I can’t comment on it. I had gentech for a time. It is VERY expensive and not worth the high price tag. A particular frum Internet safety organization recommends Gentech but. I disagree. There are better and cheaper alternatives. I wonder how much gentech is paying them to steer people to their product

Not only do they go against halacha, they announce it in public so that others who don’t have the imaginable “filter” and are struggling, should learn from them and fall.

I check hechsherim because the Torah makes specific and explicit reference to kosher food. Please quote me exactly where the Torah tells us we need an Internet filter. Like others, I use the filter the eibishte put in my head, i.e. my brain.

Is thier a halacha to only eat food with a hechsher? You eat food with hechsherim becausr you cannot insure that the food is kosher otherwise.

For all those that say you dont need a filter the mishna in pirkei avos says ain apitropis l’arayos which means that if you dont set boundaries to protect yourself you are or will come to watch bad things whether you Google it yourself or it pops up on your phone. I use netspark from tag which filters very well but it slowed my phone down

Netout

I don’t have internet

I don’t either.

We use K9 with pretty strict settings (I do whitelist certain sites) and I accidentally-on-purpose forgot the password so whenever I need to allow something I have to go open up my junk email and find the temporary one, which is a hock. Also I have an adblocker. I consider it to be a pretty good filter for a woman, especially since I don’t have a smartphone and don’t have too many hours available in the day to get sidetracked online. My husband doesn’t know the password to the computer and I need to sign him in whenever he wants to use it, so he only uses it when I’m home (though if he really needs something during the day, he can go to the public library and use the very public computers there, which is a fine filter as well).
I think it’s crazy for a man to have unfiltered internet access. Not that you’re a bad person but why set yourself up like that? It’s an easy geder to make.

OpenDNS which covers my whole WiFi including phones and PCs.

“Im confused why people proudly announce they have no filter. No Rabbanim condone that.”

For all the “chareidim” here who claim to follow this or that Rebbe, shlit”a, or this or that Rosh Yeshiva, shlit”a – none of their Rebbiem would allow their followers to be on this website, let alone be on the internet for non-parnassa reasons. So all the people on the internet, even with filters, well, that defeats the whole reason of “following a Rebbe” to begin with.

Q: Please quote me exactly where the Torah tells us we need an Internet filter.

A: ועשית מעקה לגגך
לגג backwards spells Google

Are there any internet filters that allow youtube? I know youtube has a lot of problematic content, but it also has educational content that I need for my studies.

Hi!

Is Qustodio easy to install and customize? I want to stay away from youtube, but occasionally there are videos — for instance, on cooking — that I’d like to be able to view. Would you recommend it? Thanks.
