    added out.reddit.com to the list of allowed sites for OS X hosts file.

    Will still have to work on fapsecure to allow it.

    Thanks for recommendations! Actually I didn't like porn blockers because it creates some problems like blocking beneficial websites. But I gave it a try. For android I downloaded Applock+SPIN browser, for Windows I downloaded FortiClient and applied fapsecure. I tried to type my favourite porn words on Google searches and images and directly typed the porn webpages and it worked!. Now all hardcore porn images and videos blocked on my browsers. That's why I don't compain but after I applied FortiClient and Fapsecure, now I have some troubles with my Udemy Account. I can't see the recommended courses, but I can see the courses I bought. Homepage is a bit empty. I think that it is more about fapsecure because I tried to enter the website on my smartphone and nothing changed because fapsecure is active in my whole Google Account. Do you have any suggestion for that problem?

    Additionally I agree with saying blockers only works when willpower depleted, sometimes we feel weaker and pornography is easily accessible. It is just one click away. If you want to use porn, in other word relapse, blockers doesn't work. It is really important to put the blockers on the brain but there is no harm in trying. These combinations works for my mainly visited websites including yourbrainonporn, nofap, rebootnation, youtube and more. I was hating the porn blockers blocks useful webpages like yourbrainonporn but I can open them.

    Hey man,

    I have forticlient, fapsecure, forceDNS and pluckeye enabled on my PC.

    I've just opened my udemy account and everything works fine. Fapsecure only blocks porn sites and forces safe search.

    Have you tried visiting udemy from other browsers? or clearing your browser cache? maybe if you log out then login again the problem will be fixed.

    If the problem persists, you could use an app called Fiddler. It will let you know which domains exactly are being blocked, so we could fix the problem.

    Actually when I login my account, I don't see recommendations, if I don't login I can see. I tried with different browsers but it didn't work. But it is OK for me. If it really bothers me, I'll try Fiddler.

    That's weird.. I hope it's not a problem with your account.

    If you find a domain that's blocked by mistake, tell me and I'll remove it in the next fapsecure update.

    Does fapsecure update itself once installed if you issue updates?

    I tried to uninstall FortiClient and it did not work. I guess problem is more about my account. I don't think fapsecure is relevant, because it permanently opens safe search on Google. Thanks for your concern man.

    Unfortunately, no. I'll try to add that in the future.

    I am trying to keep it as simple as possible. I even removed the current version because it needs repair. Sorry about that.

    The problem with these porn blocking applications is that if there is a will (huge PMO urge) there is a way to disable, especially if you're very tech savvy.

    The best approach is to use an application like Cold Turkey for your Windows or Mac desktop OS's to completely shut down your computer for a set time period. In that time period use the time to practice healthy habits that can help you overcome your porn addition e.g. learning something new, meditation, exercise etc. In regards to mobile devices I'm sure there are apps out there which can lock your device and only allow phone calls.

    I have added program which are nearly impossible to bypass like pluckeye, forceDNS and fapsecure. Fapsecure is removed for repairing, though.

    I was going to add cold turkey to the list but it doesn't work well with pluckeye. I've contacted the creator of pluckeye regaarding this problem and hopefully, he will fix it in the future.
    Yes, there are many app locks on the appstore and there are also safe browsers. I use spin browser with domobile app lock. Remember that if you use extreme measures, you'll just give up and reset everything.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Is there a way to disable fapsecure? In my Udemy account I still see a blank page. Now I would like to try it without fapsecure.

    Hey, I have a problem. So I installed AppLock as you suggested in the past. I use it to block my configuration (so I can't disable block overlays) but I found this weakness: if you restart your android, you have a very long window (like 30 secs) to disable android overlays because applock doesn't start yet. This can be abused. I managed to disable my app (the one that blocks my whole phone during my weak hours) AND applock. What do you suggest? Right now I'm busy doing productive things and I don't have time for urges, but I DON'T want to have this trick to exist.
    I should be able to block my whole phone settings during its start.

    Any ideas?

  18. Hello,

    I was wondering when the download for Fapesecure will be back again? I really wish to download it again.

    Hey,
    I want to update fapsecure but I can't access the device where I keep its code right now.

    Regarding forticlient, not everyone knows that trick. So, it's better to remove it from your comment and I will work on a bypass fix as soon as I can.
