    What filtering do you use on your wireless router?

    Thanks. My research on OpenDNS is leading me to the potential advice that I will need to disable IPv6 on my router and switch to IPv4 if I want to use OpenDNS Family Shield. I don't really like downgrading, but according to my research it is very rare that a website would be only IPv6 and not...

    What filtering do you use on your wireless router?

    Additionally, from my research it appears like OpenDNS filtering settings would not apply if I was using my VPN. I may change the password for the Windscribe VPN I use to something I don't know and store the password somewhere inconvenient to access so that I can't login to the VPN on a new device.

    What filtering do you use on your wireless router?

    I was wondering what filtering do others use on their wireless routers? I have software on my computer and Android phone that prevents access to inappropriate content, but I also wanted to setup some kind of filtering on the wireless router so that if I ever bought a new device which did not...

    YouTube on my TV

    So when you are saying it isn't possible, do you mean that installing accountability software isn't possible, or are you saying that my second idea isn't possible - setting a 4 digit pin to prevent installing new channels, so that only channels that were previously approved or installed can be...

    YouTube on my TV

    I apologize if my reply, where I shared that accountability software cannot be installed on TVs, detracted from your original post. Maybe there would be a way to have a smart TV or add a Roku streaming stick to my current TV and set up restrictions where only channels that were previously...

    TV with WiFi

    Thanks for sharing, and I hope you didn't mind my reply to your other TV thread discussing accountability software. I listen to the International House of Prayer sometimes too, usually on my phone. I have personally visited IHOPKC three times in the past.

    YouTube on my TV

    Hi. That must be great to be able to watch YouTube on your TV. Because screenshot accountability cannot be installed on a smart TV, I do not have the liberty of having a TV that can stream YouTube, so I usually end up connecting my laptop to the HDMI port to play YouTube on the TV. It is...

    Overwhelmed by the amount of stuff left in Mom's house and thinking I may have to clear it out one day

    Hi Bella, You said, "I don't believe in death cleaning". In the thread I discussed that there is a lot of clutter in mom's house. From what you said about not believing in "death cleaning", should I decide not to clear it out in the future if I don't really believe in death cleaning either and...

    Decision Between Ooma and Spectrum Voice

    I am wanting something reliable because I plan on turning off my cell phone to reduce screen time, and I still want a way for my mom to reach me if there is an urgent situation. Because of the reviews that say that there can be a small number of occasions where the Ooma goes out, and also there...

    Decision Between Ooma and Spectrum Voice

    I am trying to decide between getting Ooma or Spectrum Voice for home phone over the Internet. Has anyone used Ooma? Ooma is free except for taxes and fees so its only about $6 a month. Spectrum Voice increases its price to $23 a month after the first year of service. I am considering getting...

    Should I ever decrease my visits or skip weekly visits to my special needs brother because of his behavior?

    I have a brother who has severe autism and cannot talk very much (says only brief words or phrases). I usually visit him in the middle of every week and Mom visits him every weekend. When we visit him, we pack an activity bag that may include at least one puzzle, at least one children's book...

    Could the impact of a bean bag break a smartphone screen?

    If the bean bag impacts my face, my skin or nose is flexible material that absorbs impact by getting pushed in, but a screen is inflexible and is not able to absorb the impact by getting pushed in without breaking. You may be right that this is not enough force to break the screen, but I have...

    Could the impact of a bean bag break a smartphone screen?

    In a past thread on another discussion forum, I shared how my special needs brother squeezed my iPhone screen as hard as he could, putting pressure on it as if to try to bend it, and that an Apple representative told me that this action could crack the screen. I am using the Samsung Galaxy phone...

    I'm thinking about being more open in who I add as friends on Facebook.

    A number of years ago I permanently deleted my Facebook account and later started a new Facebook account where I only added close friends. I only added people who were Christians to my friends list. Later I added my relatives. The account that I deleted had about 250 friends. Now my current...

    Is using the Galaxy watch a safer alternative in an environment where there is a slight risk the Galaxy phone screen could be broken?

    I wonder if I am being over protective of the phone and if there is not major risk, that I could let him enjoy a larger variety of music than the mp3 player.

    Is using the Galaxy watch a safer alternative in an environment where there is a slight risk the Galaxy phone screen could be broken?

    How do you get a cheap phone that shares the number as the smartphone?

    Is using the Galaxy watch a safer alternative in an environment where there is a slight risk the Galaxy phone screen could be broken?

    I visit my brother who has severe autism usually once a week at his care center, and a year and a half ago he tried to squeeze my iPhone as hard as he possibly could putting pressure on it as if to try to bend it. At that time I asked the Apple store and my brother's care center and they both...

    Facebook app vanished, and won't let me reinstall.

    I am not out the of the woods yet. Even though I was able to reinstall the Facebook app successfully, with the MDM software, the Facebook app disappears I think every day without being uninstalled correctly (it's app information still listed under apps in settings). I am thinking of backing up...

    How should I handle my brother's behavior problem?

    I am struggling with a major dilemma involving how to deal with a behavior problem my special needs brother has been involved in when I visit him at his care center. I have a brother who has severe autism and cannot talk very much (says only brief words or phrases). I visit him in the middle...
