What app are you using for blocking websites?

Question

I'm looking for an Android app that lets you block websites. I tried Freedom.to and Netguard - both are not for me. 
What are you using?

Guilherme Giannoulakis · Accepted Answer

I use airplane mode. It works really well, blocking everything 😅

Answer

I'm using a Pi-hole with openvpn. the Pi hole allows me to manage sites that I want blocked, including malicious, pornographic, and ads all via dns while openvpn does two things; anonymizes my IP/location and encrypts my traffic so that the mobile IP or any wifi cannot do anything malicious.

I also follow that up with running Lookout for host intrusion detection.

I am using Limit extension . Limit is a Chrome browser extension that allows you to limit your time spent on distracting websites.

I've used the Chrome plugin from deprocrastination and it's been really great for scheduling focus and distraction free time: https://www.deprocrastination.co/ I think the author is working on getting it back in the plugin "app store" so it might not be available at the moment.
