[QUOTE="ZeroDay, post: 829987, member: 11608"] I checked out NextDNS last night. I don't know how this DNS service went under my radar because it looks fantastic. I haven't tried it yet, I have signed up for the Beta and I will be setting up and trying it out today. Judging from the looks and settings alone it looks like the best third party DNS I've seen for a long time. Thank you for sharing the link and making me aware of it. Everyone who uses a third party/Custom DNS service should check NextDNS out it looks very promising indeed. For the OP the Gryphon routers look like a good option for you and they're a lot cheaper than I expected them to be on Amazon. There are other routers which would help you too. If you go into settings on your current router does it give you the option to block custom domains or anything using key words etc? I know Sophos has a good web filter which will filter adult content, Kaspersky offer a similar service as do Norton, I think.
