Spoiler alert: If you follow this link, you can read both how to exploit the loophole (it takes only seconds to do so) and how (on a rooted phone) you can close the loophole. Or there's another way, which I plan to do. And, on my aging Android OS, the system WebView component probably includes security holes which hackers can exploit. But these browsers probably all use the system WebView component. There are two ways to close the loophole. Qustodio, like most Web filters on Android 4.0+, includes a loophole which makes it useless for me. But Norton Family has a public support forum, tirelessly monitored by a company employee, where even non-paying users can post bug reports (and I have posted one).

In the end, I switched the Windows machine to Norton Family in order so that I could install Qustodio on the smartphone. It's really designed to be run on servers, not on cellphones, and it hasn't yet been packaged to be easily installable on cellphones.)ĭo you have any suggestions, tips, ideas, or random thoughts? At the time, I read that it wasn't a good choice on Android at the time. Plus, a few years ago, I looked into the matter. If e2guardian works on Android, I could root my phone and install it - either atop Android, or atop GNURoot Debian atop Android. (Dansguardian is no longer maintained, but a fork, called e2guardian, is maintained. Or perhaps there exists a good alternative to Qustodio for Android. Perhaps there exists some good multi-user alternative to Qustodio for Windows. I would rather not pay for filtering software. I've found that this limit means that I can't install the free version of Qustodio on the cellphone unless I first either: It looks like the free version originally used to work on a maximum of two devices per household, but that the limit has since been reduced to one device per household. The free version of Qustodio has some limitations built in, so as to encourage users to upgrade to the paid version. I want to install some filtering software on my cellphone too. I chose Qustodio because it allows me to filter one Windows user account (mine) and leave the other account unfiltered (someone else's).

I've installed some Web filtering software called Qustodio on the laptop. (I've already joined a twelve-step program for sex addicts, but I still want a second layer of protection.) I want to help prevent myself from viewing pornography.

And there's a Samsung Galaxy S Relay cellphone, running Android 4.1.2, which I use sometimes.

There's a Windows 8 laptop, which I use often.
