Blocking porn on Android [GUIDE]

I usually watch porn on Android phone. Regular relapses happen when Im lying in bed under blanket. As most of you I worked on the ways to prevent the urges. First of course in my case was leaving the phone in other room when I go sleeping, but I quickly realized that sometimes I just bring phone for reasons and I had to find the way to block porn on my phone or at least lenghten the way to watch porn.

Here’s what I did:

- I went to phone settings, opened App list and disabled default web browser

- I downloaded Pluckeye, here’s a quick info:

Pluckeye is a filter for people who want to limit their Internetaccess. The most common reason for using Pluckeye is to limit oreliminate the amount of time spent

- using porn- using facebook, twitter, instagram, and other social media- gaming online- gambling online- shopping online- checking emailIf you do any of these more than you want to, Pluckeye may be ableto help you change how you use the Internet.

Despite these features it also blocks images, what really helped me to prevent feeding the urge by searching hot girl images via Google, what honestly was one of my “fav ways” for relapse, lol.

- I rooted my Android phone (wtf is rooting?) and enabled PornAwayfor today 26000 porn domains) and porn ads (for today 558 URLs). It is done by modified hosts file, which can be also used on PC. I also added to the list time-wasting websites like reddit, facebook, youtube, twitch, steam, gaming websites etc.

- The last step was downloading AppBlock - blocking Play Store (to prevent downloading other browsers wit enabled images for example) and PornAway app (to prevent disabling the hosts block). If you pay you can use password-protected app block, which password you can hide somewhere, give a friend or smth. In free version there is no protection unfortunately and limit for 30 days, but it does its job.
