Family Safe Browsing with cleanbrowsing.org

Magrath, AB Steps to keep your Windows 10 computer safe and free from crud. 

• This tip works on all computer devices: Linux, Windows, Apple, Android, etc
• For avoiding unwanted websites, I like to recommend the Clean Browsing Free Family filter. Info at  https://cleanbrowsing.org/articles/opendns-alternatives website. It works by replacing the main index to the internet (the DNS master lookup system - kind of like the phone book into where stuff is on the net) with a cleaned up version omitting where bad stuff is. It can be installed on a single device or (better yet) within your  main router to protect all devices - phones, tablets, visitors, etc from accidental access to stupid sites. Instead of pointing DNS lookups to the everything good and bad index you point it at the clean list DNS. Although there are ways to undo or bypass the protection, it will provide good protection for casual family users.
• I can assist you in setting it up on your main router if you like, but the instructions are online at https://cleanbrowsing.org/getting-started .. I suggest you try the Family Filter: "Blocks access to all adult, pornographic and explicit sites. It also blocks proxy and VPN domains that are used to bypass the filters. Mixed content sites (like Reddit) are also blocked. Google, Bing and Youtube are set to the Safe Mode. Malicious and Phishing domains are blocked." The settings for this free service are:
  IPv4 address: 185.228.168.168 and 185.228.169.168 and/or
  IPv6 address: 2a0d:2a00:1:: and 2a0d:2a00:2::
• Best Practice? Install the cleanbrowsing DNS settings on both your home router AND each of your portable devices. That way, when you have visitors in your home wanting to use your internet, you all are protected AND when you or your kids are using the internet outside your home on someone else's internet you and they are also protected there ..

Have fun and be safe out there! All the best@ ​
