Does anyone know of a way to block all explicit content for all devices on my home network?

In particular searching video on Bing now yields not only explicit picture thumbnails but also video “previews” (pornographic video shorts) without actually going to the site. Kids can easily change the search to include adult content, and there is no way to lock safe search. Google in not much better, and in my experience safe search never stays permanently blocked.

Setting up a child account on the computers filters out content (not explicit) that is needed for doing high school homework etc. and does not solve for cell phone access etc.

Is there a way to set up the router to filter all content for all users?
 
Besides those software , there is OpenDNS and iBoss for the network/router. No matter which method you use, read about Google and its images because it applies to all internet filtering services.
 
What makes me mad is that one used to have to seek, in secrecy, their porn.:rolleyes: Now it’s flashed at you whether you want it or not, as though they just assume most would love to look at it. Why should we have to put “locks” on things, when those who actually want it should have to search for it.
