Hey Jake — short list of effective, easy free options:

OpenDNS FamilyShield (router-level DNS blocking, set-and-forget).

CleanBrowsing (family filter DNS, regularly updated).

Google Family Link (good for Android device controls + SafeSearch).

Kaspersky Safe Kids (free tier for basic web filters).

Browser add-ons: LeechBlock (Firefox) or BlockSite (Chrome) for per-browser control.

Tip: set DNS on your router for whole-home protection, then add a browser/app-level blocker for redundancy. For more granular monitoring (paid), apps like mSpy offer deeper tracking — use responsibly and check laws/consent.

Pro tip: enable geofencing in Parentaler for quick location alerts on Android.
