    I know how to block porn websites, but that isn't my problem. When I relapse I just google using keywords like 'n**dity' etc. There isn't any tool to block this according to my knowledge. If anyone knows how to, I wanted to just lock the door and throw away the key for this, the idea is I shouldn't be able to look at explicit images on google, even if I want to.

    Hi Danny!
    At that level there is nothing to block basic nudity or celebrity pictures, and if you see it is almost like looking around in instagram: it cannot be blocked to that level.
    I would suggest you to work on the urge-process, because if you let it flow into you, you can basically FAP to anything. It is not much about the content, but the process. Try not to surf the web while you are in a bad or suggestive mood.
    Cheers.
    Sam

    Hi,
    New here, so please pardon if I'm not following protocol. Open image searches are real dangers to me. So...

    Phones: No idea. Hopefully the OS will have a "Parental Control" thing. I've got a Windows phone, and it's pretty good. Then again, I don't really use it like a computer or browser. I use it for email, phone, calendaring, texting.

    PC or Mac: Bluecoat K9, the safe search feature works.

    Linux: There are a number of things that work well together. Look at Plucki (PluckEye, get it?)

    I hope this helps!

    Searches are hard to block. The way most blockers work is to turn off SSL in your search engine settings, which means that your searches wont be encrypted (not default, not recommended). This is fairly simple to bypass. If you are a technical person, you can setup a proxy between your PC/Phone and the internet. This will allow you to decrypt SSL (on your home network only) and filter searches that most blocking software cannot. Try looking at Squid Proxy or Sophos UTM.

    As MeNoPhap already said, use K9. I have it and it works great. You can block by category (adult, porn, etc.), and you can also force google safe search. It gets rid of most foul stuff. I also made a random password to K9 so that I can't change my settings.

    It's free by the way.

    On a computer you can use a program like K9 Bluecoat to force SafeSearch and block porn websites at the same time (I recommend using it, its free and effective). If using the latter, have someone else set the admin password and not tell you to prevent you from disabling it in an emergency/relapse. And then if you really want to go nuclear (which I highly recommend), change your computer account to non-admin (Windows, Mac)and have someone make an admin account and not tell you the password, which prevents you from uninstalling the program. On mobile, it depends on OS. I don't know about iOS or Windows Phones, because I don't use either. However, on Android, here's what worked pretty well for me: download the SPIN browser (it blocks that stuff automatically), disable/uninstall every other web browser, then download an app like AppLock that requires a password to access select apps, then go into your settings and make it an admin (so that you can't uninstall it, its under Settings > Security). Have someone else lock Play Store and Settings using the AppLock app and not give you the key. Then, block the Google Play website on your computer (again, I would use K9 Bluecoat. It's free and very effective), and for extra measure (since there's no good way of blocking websites on mobile, and SPIN browser allows the Google Play website) go into your router settings, block the Google Play website, and have someone else change the router access password and not tell you. This is bullet-proof, as you cannot uninstall the blocking app, you can't install another browser, whether from the Play Store app or the website. You can't download pictures on your computer and transfer them to your phone, there is absolutely no way of accessing any porn. Let me repeat, there is absolutely no way of accessing porn. Let me tell you, it is annoying as hell. But hey, its worth it, right?

    P.S. I included all of the links just to make sure that you are able to block the porn. Don't think that its because I think you're dumb, I don't :).

    I installed K9, it's really good so far. I haven't really watched porn on the phone so I haven't bothered to put up these on the phone. I was thinking I set a tough password and keep it stored somewhere ( I don't remember password easily anyway).
    Thank you everyone, I hope I can survive a full 3 month nofap session to break my porn addiction, and you guys really helped :)

    Block explicit results on Google using SafeSearch
    You can filter explicit search results on Google, like pornography, using the SafeSearch setting. SafeSearch isn’t 100% accurate, but it helps you avoid most adult content.

    You can use SafeSearch as a parental control to help protect children from inappropriate search results on your phone, tablet, or computer.

    How SafeSearch works
    When SafeSearch is on, it helps block explicit images, videos, and websites from Google Search results.

    When SafeSearch is off, we'll provide the most relevant results for your search and may include explicit content when you search for it.

    COMPUTER ANDROIDIPHONE & IPAD
    Turn SafeSearch on or off
    1. Go to Search Settings.
    2. Under "SafeSearch filters," check or uncheck the box next to "Turn on SafeSearch."
    3. At the bottom of the page, select Save.

    How can you block the option of turning safe search off? Also, image search is complicated to restrict. Any suggestions? Thank you

    Google has a safe search mode that should filter out explicit nudity, but may not filter out more racy (but technically street legal) pictures. You may have to set your Google account to keep you always logged in to ensure your settings stay that way. Other than that, there are browser extensions that restrict pornographic material from being accessed by your browser, but they only work on the browser you install them on, so for example if you use Chrome like I do, it would work on Chrome, but if you have a Windows system, you;ve got Edge or Internet Explorer built into your PC and you'd need a separate extension for those.
