Open Source Alternative for Parental Controls - SDF Chatter

Looking at products like Gryphon [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082YGNKJH] or Circle [https://meetcircle.com], I feel like this should be pretty easy to do self-hosted. It’s just firewall rules right? Anyone know of a good open source/self-host product I can do this? A phone app is not a requirement. A web interface is fine. I’m kind of trying right now with PiHole and cron jobs but something prettier and more comprehensive would be nice.

Nobody’s a child in my home. But I do block porn and malware on a DNS level. I use Knot Resolver with a custom RPZ blocklist curated from multiple sources which self-update weekly. I don’t use PiHole or Adguard Home because they seem too unnecessarily heavy

Why would anyone block porn for their own devices

Because porn’s a massive waste of time, energy and bandwidth. I mean there are various obvious reasons

Ok. So here’s the real deal I’m addicted to porn. I’m a real life coomer
