Final Words

So now if you ask do these settings guarantee that the child will browse safe content?

Well guys, there are plenty of methods you will find on when you Google for how to block a website. We think the methods that we have shared with you are enough to block 18+ adult websites, but these methods do not guarantee that your child will browse a safe content on internet.

The reason is that on internet there are a million and billion websites available and practically it is not possible for any ISP, any software to restrict the access of a danger website.

Hence if website like pornhub which is popular can be blocked but some very close or similar website with different domain extension like .online, .me, .live is not possible to block as these can only be blocked if you know about them.

And on internet, people register new domains daily and share it with others secretly on social media platforms.

Apart from that if your child know about the torrent websites like thepiratebay3, extratorrents proxy and some popular handlers like @playboyplus, @playboytv, @hot__tiktok on X/Twitter.com then you can’t do anything and no trick will work.

So 100% safe search is not possible but if you know about a website then you can allow or block by adding in the list or by creating strict firewall rules.
