Porn blockers

Hi Kierann, I reccomend Blocksi extension for web browsers. You can set a password in order to disable any changes, that is what I am doing. Hide the password somewhere or give it to someone so you will not get it when you get an urge.
On a mobile device I am using xBlock, you can download it from the App store. That one pairs well with screen time and also works with a password protection. That is the only way I was able to block P on all my devices.

 

First, posts like this are helpful. Second, I advise against sharing ways to get around a blocker. Even if it’s helpful in discussion, it may give ideas to other people.

For me I’m on iOS and I use parental controls and only allowed websites, which my wife has passcode for.

On computer, I use Forticlient and Covenant Eye. Neither are bulletproof, but they have been hardened and honed and they catch a lot of things.

 

I like cold turkey for desktop. Have porn, Fetlife, swinger sites blocked for the next 50 years lolll

 

You need to get over blockers and you will eventually do it if you stay on this path long enough.

There's nothing wrong with having the intention to experience a healthy internet but its practically impossible. No matter how much you try there will always be a way to bypass.

Find your vision of doing nofap. Develop your own motive. When you have sight of why youre on this path then it will automatically save you from wrongs.

 

THIS. There is always a way around. I find the blockers as a good obstacle in order to make it harder for me to reach what I do not want to reach. I wish there was a perfect blocker that would block everything with a press of a button, but I haven’t found any.

 

an app called appblocker go to its stict mode
it will disable when u connect with charger
use it
i use its mod version

 

I have extensive experience with this and i dont have good news.
I am the most ultra hardcore addict, currently 20 days clean, you will only disappoint yourself when you will bypass and feel it like a waste of time.
My PC is completely blocked but at a big cost. And if i do a quick research i am sure i can bypass every measure.
I use quostudio, i blocked manually over 400 websites, including some dark web links, took me like some hours. I blocked task manager, registry tools, i made my own chrome extension to block google images since i know too much, i can simply find the images without going to the sites, even if is not porn, its still a gateway and losing control, i blocked some policies, and i made sure i dont have the rights to bypass policies or registry via shells. I fought this by reinstalling the windows a few times and i achieved my goal, to make porn expensive to reach, a lot of extra steps to write an url which i dont wanna do. I am sure i can bypass quostudio without reinstalling windows but i gave up researching.

On the phone is impossible, you have to completely wreck it, to even block the dialler and preferably apps that block the settings and cannot be removed without password, yet it can be bypassed.
If the phone is not blocked, your pc isnt blocked. Phone is impossible to be blocked and easy to factory reset.

I will suggest you to get an emotional drive like a bulldozer, find a meaning for your life and fight like is no tomorrow, blockers are a trench war, nobody wins.
I think for PC is worth blocking just to make it expensive but keep that smartphone away cause no app can stand against a compulsive addict

 

Net Nanny. It's pricey but out of all the ones I tested it made the most sense for me. I made a list from the best of lists you get, and worked my way down.

I've now been using it for 3 years. Don't let my counter fool you. My relapses were possible because i had memorised the password to bypass it. It works well when I respect it.

I use it as a last resort as part of my arsenal.

The main features for me are:

• Ability to block search terms as short as two letters. Most have a predetermined list which wasn't helpful for my circumstances.
• Block/allow certain websites. For me this includes certain shops and timewasting apps. This reduces certain temptations.
• Internet or device pause on schedule. I used to sit on my laptop till the small hours but now that's just not an option. On a friday it pauses at the "late" hour of 11.30, at which point i'm forced to do something else. Internet pauses on my phone at 10.30. This helps me get enough sleep, which helps me enjoy life and fight temptations when they come. Likewise it comes on again at 7am, which helps me in the mornings.
• Different profile settings. Some websites are allowed on my laptop that i don't allow on my phone. That's because if I'm on my laptop I'm there to work and so there's fewer associations there. I also have time wasting websites blocked too.

It really isn't perfect. It doesn't block everything. I have to be wise with Youtube, but I tend to go on the tv for that. I've also been able to download unhelpful apps. But then net nanny has allowed me to block those for future use.

I am also not very tech smart, so i can't even think of how to go about bypassing it other than uninstalling the app. I have tried to do so. It was a pain to do. Likewise i had memorised the password. I have changed it and is now in a hard to reach place and completely unguesable. This says more about me than net nanny.

 

When I first started using site blockers, they didn't do much because they were very easy to bypass.

What worked for me is installing a ton of site blockers all blocking the same websites because bypassing went from 5 seconds to 60s +

It's about adding as much friction as possible

 

That's a great idea!

 

I've been using pluckeye and I'm very impressed with it. As others have said blockers are usually easy to bypass. I thought cold turkey was great at first but pretty easy to uninstall. After a few relapses and back and forth fights with myself setting up then uninstalling blockers I think I (the me that doesn't want to fap lol) finally won.

So this time I've installed pluckeye again and set it up to block the usual sites with a gigantic delay. I blocked safe mode on my laptop and prevented access to the registry. I then created another administrator user on my laptop with a crazy long password and using that set my main profile to a standard user so I can't do a factory reset. Then I deleted the password for the admin user. Pretty nuclear option but I genuinely can't think of how to bypass this. Please don't make any suggestions if you know how!!

The only issue is that I could still access porn on my android phone far too easily but the laptop has always been my main issue. And for some reason I've never fapped to my tiny phone screen lol.

I just seriously wish there was an easy way to block safe mode on an android phone incase that tiny screen starts to seem appealing :-(

 

Can anyone recommend something that disables safe mode, I use covenant which works well on my MacBook but on my android I can still restart in safe mode and access the dirty stuff. Please can someone help.

 

I recommend "detoxify" great app really useful for all devices
