How to block adult websites on Windows 10 and 11

How to block gambling sites on a PC
Block the Gambling website category on the PC and lock the setting behind a password someone else holds. No filter catches every gambling site, so pair the block with support beyond the computer.
Block games during homework time

How to set an internet bedtime on your kid's PC
Set a schedule that switches the internet off at night, on your router or on the PC itself. NetSecWall's bedtime blocks all internet on the PC between two times you choose, overnight included.
