I'm usually around, but when I step away I'd feel better knowing that there's at least some type of filter. Is there something free and easy to use that won't interfere with my access?

The only free one I know of is Qustodio. It works well for some people, but a lot of reviews said that it blocked everything, even their email. And when I tried it, that's what happened to me. I had to get rid of it so I could do anything at all on my computer.

Now I pay for Techloq and I'm happy.

Thank you.
I haven't been happy with Qustodio.
If anyone else has ideas, please share

I installed it on my kids phones. They got around it easily.

Currently I have Microsoft Family Link for my computer. I assist a login for every kid and allow/block as needed.

No it is not. It filters some browsers but can't filter others. Even if the normal browser you use (Chrome, for example) is blocked, your son can very easily get onto absolutely anything he wants by opening up a browser in internet explorer. It's one of the most ridiculous filters we've had, and we've tried a few.

I currently have Techloq. IT works well but can be annoying sometimes.
