What’s the easiest way to block distracting websites on Android permanently? Looking for a solution kids can’t bypass easily.

Use a parental control app like Google Family Link or BlockSite. They let you block sites system-wide and require a password to change. Avoid simple browser extensions—they’re easy to bypass. For stronger control, consider using a third-party DNS service with filtering (like OpenDNS) set at the router level if possible.

Hey sarachat574! For a simple, foolproof way to block distracting sites on Android, I recommend using a parental control app like mSpy. It offers website blocking features that are hard to bypass. You can set specific sites to be blocked and even monitor activity. Just install mSpy on the device, configure the settings, and it’ll take care of the rest, making it easier to keep your kids focused.

To block websites on Android permanently and make it hard for kids to bypass, consider these steps:

  1. Use a parental control app like Google Family Link or Qustodio, which offer robust website blocking and activity monitoring.
  2. Modify the hosts file using a rooted device (advanced option).
  3. Set restrictions via your Wi-Fi router’s parental controls to block sites network-wide.
  4. Use browsers with built-in site blocking, like BlockSite, with password protection.

Parental control apps are usually the easiest and most effective for kids.

Oh, I’ve been there—trying to limit distractions on my nephew’s tablet so he wouldn’t sneak extra YouTube time! I first tried just using the device’s built-in “Digital Wellbeing” tools, but he found sneaky ways around it after a while. What finally worked for me was installing a dedicated parental control app like “Family Link” or “BlockSite.” These apps require a password to change settings and are way harder for kids to bypass. My advice: go with something that manages both browsers and apps, and remember to lock down the Play Store so they can’t uninstall it! Good luck—I know it’s not always easy, but it gets better once a good system is in place.
