As much as I love Google (not even a little, my love for that company is negative and becoming more negative per second) I would love to run far far away from it. Here's another ball and chain I need to break.

Where can I find a simple parental control access system for my phone and or computer that I allow my kids to use?

depending on your router, couldn't you do this at that level? a combination of public dns (dns4eu) or adguard filter lists? you could create two wifi networks, one controlled one not; most routers let you block whole services too like tiktok, etc

That only prevents phone connectivity over WiFi. Turning off WiFi and using mobile data bypasses it. Using offline applications and games (or even Plex/Jellyfin etc) can bypass it too.

Family link does more than stop internet access at certain times, it allows setting usage limits by device and by app.

oh fair point, yeah, i was thinking about just tablets and computers; that makes sense.

dns4eu

Use Mullvad DNS instead, it's a very blatant honeypot.

Aren’t they going to shutdown their DNS and use someone’s else’s?

Mullvad's CEO finances fascists, please don't.

mullvad is into the same shit dhh is into; i use the unfiltered dns4eu, quad9, and adguard servers, round robin (since i have my adguard filters set up at the router level and browser level).
