    I got K9 on my desktop 4 months ago and since then thanks to this amazing software I managed to not relapse on my PC at all. I fell prey to the urges a couple of times and googled pornographic content but K9 was very efficient in blocking it and making it really uncomfortable for me to go out of my way and bypass it so I never bothered.

    Sadly, there is not a K9 equivalent for Android which I could find so I relapse really often on my Android phone :(.

    I really wish you could suggest me a way in which I could achieve the same result as on my desktop. More precisely, an app or a blocking method that would make it really hard for me to deactivate or bypass it thus giving me enough time not to fell prey to my urge.

    You have to do anything to get a leg up on this addiction, if it comes to it, use the public libraries, sell your computer or dont get an internet connection. Buy a home phone, get rid of internet on phone, you dont need twitter, facebook, etc., to survive. I've mastered my adiction somewhat and i dont watch porn on my phone or laptop anymore. And I was watching porn and masturbating 3 to 4 times a day everyday of the week for about 4 years.It all depends on how bad you want a PMO free life, bro.

    I have tried that but it literally took me 2 seconds to uninstall the app and get to porn. I need something that is hard to deactivate.

    See the second link.
    You have to put your favourite p* website, and then forget it.

    You'll not able to open those websites.

    Getting rid on the internet on your phone is one of the worst ideas I have ever heard.

    You might get rid of porn but you will also fall behind in your life. As someone who lives in 2017 from an economic standpoint, you are competing with everyone else in the market who has mobile internet. Thus they will have access to resources an information that you won't and that will put you behind them.

    Thank you.

    I remembering trying the antivirus method a while ago but it suffers from the same problem. I could uninstall the app in 2 seconds which got rid of all the restrictions. Is there a way to make the app uninstallable?

    The hosts file method requires root access and there is no bootloader for my phone version.

    Oops.. My bad :D
    I have rooted mobile, I didn't knew that it would not work in unrooted mobile.

    Then, the last option is only OpenDNS. You should configure in your router. But, it's good only if you have static ip address, otherwise you'll need Updater in your PC.

    You considered disabling/deleting all browsers on Android, meaning it becomes more difficult to access pornography as you won't be able to access the internet through your phone instead inclining to use internet browsers through your computer.

    For me on my Iphone, I have downloaded all the applications required without allowing purposeful access to the internet by disabling the safari. Of course, I could access the internet through a third-party application but that is greatly reduced. I am planning to today, set up restrictions and not allow applications to download through the app store meaning I don't have direct access to downloading apps like browsers (bing, etc...) or even Reddit. Then this means, that I use my computer for all internet access that I should be setting up a proxy for to block most sites - I created a blacklist for sites like Reddit.com (but created whitelist for subreddits that are safe and maybe important like /r/nofap), Facebook.com, etc... With assistance from K9 Filtering service on my computer, it should be greater at blocking most things but some sites like reddit were not blocked fully with that site having a range of porn subreddits (soft porn and hard porn).
