Seeking help for blocking the porn in my pc and phone

Hi everybody!
I hope everybody is doing well! I came to no fap challenge a month ago. I managed to keep a streak of 30 days free of PMO. I have to say it was one of the best moments of my life. But that streak disappeared because of the stress I had and have when the university started. Currently, I am under too much stress. and the worst part is that I am going back to my old habit once again, which I really hated. i tried to stay free once again but it lasted only 3 days only and then I jerked off again like a piece of shit that I am. I hate myself. I wish I could have another addiction but not this one, 'cause PMO is a curse.
I need help once again. I need help to block the porn sites in my laptop and on my phone once again. I hope I can block so that I could stay sober. Pls guys help. If you know any method/app to block porn just share it. I won’t be the only who will find it useful. there would a lot of other people too.

Hi @Colombus_Toro . I am not any successful No Fapper here.
What I have learnt from my past failures is that we cannot fully depend on willpower to succeed in No fap. I have taken some steps to succeed in No fap a few days ago. I hope it may work for you.

I used Stay Focused to permanently block apps while I used Your Slice which works in such a manner that you can use a particular app on specific mentioned timing.
I deleled social media like Instagram, Twitter , Facebook etc. Now the only source of social media I cant delete is You Tube.

I used Stay Focused to block you tube.
The good thing about Your Slice app is that it can block itself. So here it as follows

  1. Used Stay Focused to Block You Tube
  2. Used Your Slice to block Stay Focused and Your Slice ( I did this to so that I can prevent myself from unblocking You Tube when my urge is bad.)

Now Your Slice will ask you to specify the time interval to use a particular app. I typed the following
Starts: 5 am
Ends : 5 am
By doing this you are blocking Your Slice permanently. I know its bit complicated but its worth the try. I was saved from many strong urges those times. The only way you can escape from this permanent block is to delete these app.

I joined one challenge in the forum, where my daily goal is not to delete those apps.

My another source of relapse was laptop. I kept it in the drawing room and promised myself no to change its position.

This is for you @Colombus_Toro I know its super long. But i believe this strategy will help you.

For pc(Windows):
•BlockerX extension
•Blocksite extension
•Turning on safe search
•Turning on grayscale mode for windows(ctrl+winds+c)
•Deleting all social media accounts(Facebook, 9gag, reddit etc)
•Limiting use(only use when needed and allot time before using)

For phone(Android):
•BlockerX app
•Turning on safe search
•Turning on grayscale mode
•Deleting all browsers except 1
•Using a masking app which will mask apps like youtube etc(which you need but not always)
•Disabling playstore and other apps as per your needs
•Get an accountability partner(friend, siblings, mom etc) who will take your phone away from you
•Having someone else put a child lock on your phone which you cannot disable(non rooted phone necessary)
•Limiting use(only use when needed and allot time before using)

Hope this helps

I don’t know any blocker beacuse I didn’t use any… I just read one book “The Porn Pandemic” by this I have so much hate about porn that I didn’t open it another time…
In my mobile there is no blocker, I didn’t use any social media… just use whatsapp, and for study material and movies I used telegram. On youtube I studied from it… That’s all… When I feel urges I just distracted it and the book that had I read… It always works well for not open any porn.

I have a network ad blocker which includes DNS blocking. I use nextdns which has a function to block porn. As my ISP router doesn’t let me change DNS I run my own DHCP server and point it to nextdns and all pmo is blocked.

There are other alternatives like pihole which are super easy to setup.

For me seeing the websites in the logs make me feel guilty and disgusted forcing me to stop
