    I would like to share with you my way of reboot

    I removed my windows system, and installed Linux with whitelisting using Dansguardian content filter.
    I have also created the repository of safe sites (~70k sites at this moment), although for beginners, I would recommend to remove a few sites from this list (youtube, bitchute, cda, pdfdrive, steamstore, 9anime, soundcloud, quora, ...)
    The repo is at github, user: ILoveMuffins, repo name: Sitefilter (I can't insert links here); most of the sites are not sorted properly between the files)
    There are mostly English and Polish sites, that corresponds to most interesting topics for me.
    webcrawler and dogpile are my search engines, because they don't support image search.

    For this to work I have created filter on my linux "root" (admin) account with this whitelisted sites (blacklisting won't save you!), generated random root account password that I don't know and sent it to my best friend, so he can keep it for me.

    There are also 2 more useful files, that should be created at root account so you won't be able to modify them:
    - First one for firewall rules - to redirect 80/443 traffic to Dansguardian port and to drop direct connections to proxy and 80/443 ports for your "everyday" user account, because you don't want to be able to get around your filters. This file should be run at system startup.
    - Second one to force firefox to make internet connections through dansguardian and disallow any modification of this settings using firefox config file created at root account (it is possible to set up with firefox, but you have to remove any other web browsers)
    I could add these files to the repo if you want.

    Moreover I got rid of my smartphone (or you could try to uninstall phone web browser if you have rooted phone and lock it with unknown password), so I am absolutely cut off from inappropriate content.
    All the "bad stuff" I had on my disk was encrypted using rar with random passwords, that were sent to my friend, so I don't have thoughts that I'm loosing something

    It's quite a brute force method but it really saved my life - no kidding, so I want to widely share this knowledge so you can also be free as I am.
    From my actual perspective, I should have spent my time - even the whole week, to set this up properly and I would have been successfully rebooted months earlier.

    Feel free to post this anywhere you want, to help the others

    PS. Forbidding links is so stupid
