Block out Porn



Open DNS Family Filter works very well and there are a lot of pr0n blocking HOSTS files out there.
 
Does anyone know how to block out porn using a dns service?
Thank you.
good luck with that, you might as well try keeping a perfect vacuum in a screen house. There are way too many porn sites to effectively block even 75% of them.
keep in mind the porn industry is very powerful. They are one of the main reasons that VHS won out over beta-max when the VCR industry was big in the 80s.
you would have better luck using a whitelist on your router and only allow certain list of sites. It is the only way to be 100%
 
you can try nextdns, or OpenDNS Family shield (Quad9 does not set filtering I think) or hosts file. e.g.
Some VPNs have family filtering option (do not combine DNS in the browser and VPN or DNS-over-HTTPS) finally, if you have cookies enabled go to search page settings and enable filtering

Have you tried pihole? It will block porn and other bad sites on your entire network. Easy to set up and use. The only bad thing as mentioned in the last post is that DNS over HTTPS will override it but I figured out how to disable it permanently in firefox. You can also block everything in pihole and white list in everything you want back in.


Also you can create a policies.json file for your web browser and block all sites and then add in what you want (white list). I only use firefox so I can help you out with this if you use firefox.

You can also use /etc/hosts file to block bad sites by adding a porn block list to that file. Adding a line such as 0.0.0.0 www.badsite.com to the /etc/hosts file will block that site but its much easier to copy and paste a large block list someone else has already made.

Also you can use a firewall (pfSense, ufw, etc.) and router software as well to help block. On my TP-link router I can just add bad words to a list and it will block those domain names.

Best to do everything in layers and not rely on one thing only. The only thing that will 100% block all bad stuff is to block everything and white list the websites you use but this may be too restrictive depending on how you use the internet.

Maybe don't visit those sites or just close your eyes.

Does not work. These are the contents of my /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 208.67.222.123
nameserver 208.67.220.123

I'm on Debian. The new P0rn friendly OS. Does not block porn out.
 
It has zero to do with the OS, and everything to do with the browser.

I use Chrome as a second browser. I use the extension: ublock origin

Zero adds and certainly no porn

my main browser is brave.
Brave block adds etc etc by default.
No adds and no pron

Have you tested that like a teenage boy and actually tried to find that stuff? Or do you just not see it in your regular day to day use?
 
Back in my day, we had ASCII porn!

Along came the .gif but it was like 5 minutes to download a still-grainy picture.

Kids have it too easy these days!

Anyhow, look into the hosts file as mentioned above. That'd be my choice to start blocking content. Someone's bound to maintain a porn domain list so you can update it now and then to keep your hosts file current.

If you were really strict, you'd want to consider blacklisting everything and then whitelisting the sites you approve of.

Also, Debian isn't "porn friendly" because it doesn't block porn by default. The default is not to block anything and let the user make those choices. After all, it's not 'religion friendly' because it doesn't block religious sites.
 
Nothing is going to block out porn completely - you can just use a proxy web service like Croxy Proxy or a VPN to get around most any kind of controls or by web scraping and cloudflare solvers are also capable but requires some knowledge to use
 
When I installed MX Linux on my other computer a short while ago I noticed it came with antiX Advert Blocker which automatically adds a large list of bad sites including porn to your etc/hosts file. I'm sure that program can be downloaded and installed onto other distros. I believe it also updates the file by adding new sites as the block list is updated. Look into as its basically a block list for etc/hosts/

I have everything bad blocked. You need to block all at the browser level using a policies.json file and whitelist back in the sites you use. Nothing gets around this as far as I know. Of course this is not for everyone because it is very restrictive.
 
Network wide blocking - Pihole, pfblocker-NG (works same as Pihole), router software/features.
OS level blocking - etc/hosts.
Browser level blocking - policies.json file, extensions such as ublock.

Use protection at all three layers for best results.

Yes, I quoted my own post.

As much as I concur with the ideas etc of the baove members and am quite sure it has a profound effect on knocking ads and porn and whatever else out of the 'picture'.....I still see it as being over the top.

It leads me to wonder which sites are visited to perhaps prompt stuff of that nature on your screen....

The k.i.s.s principle still has its place.

The above approach which I quoted, ....works. Nothing gets through

ymmv....for whatever reason.
 
This works...

What has Porn got to do with Linux ?
