[QUOTE="Scupper, post: 1033740, member: 97945"] Wouldn't blocking at the router level take care of your needs for your smart tv and Alexa? You can also change the Private DNS setting on an android phone to the service of your choice. Free services usually don't provide reports as to what has been blocked. Ad blocking can easily be taken care of at the device level with uBlock or other apps / extensions, and limiting you kids screen time can be set at the router level. Here are two reports that may be of interest. Where you are located globally, and whether you are under any goverment restrictions also comes into play.
