I use pihole for my entire home network as primary DNS and opendns for secondary (long time user of opendns, since before Cisco bought it). I also have VPN setup for remote access (esp. for mobile). I use ublock origin at the browser level.

These are layers of protection from undesired content (ads, malware, porn, etc.). If one fails, hopefully the next layer will provide desired protection.

I have kids approaching teen years. There is no magic bullet, and we still monitor and limit their screen time.

How would you improve this setup? Just curious.

Are you trying to shield your teenage kids from seeing porn by accident or actively seeking it out? If it's the later you've already lost - presumably they have 4G.

Or at least one friend whose parents aren't tech savvy, and aren't home.
