毫无疑问，互联网(Internet)上充斥着不适合儿童和年轻家庭成员的内容。虽然我不支持孩子们使用移动设备和电脑，但限制他们也无济于事。最好对他们进行教育，并设置一些限制，以便可以自动过滤内容。
有各种免费的家长控制软件(free parental control software)可用于这种情况，但需要付出很多努力才能使其生效。在这篇文章中，我们将讨论一项名为Clean Browsing的服务，它提供基于 DNS 的家长控制和安全模式强制(SafeMode)执行，这对于防止孩子访问成人内容很有用。
清洁浏览(Browsing)基于 DNS 的家长控制
在非常基本的层面上，它可以帮助您过滤不正确的域并帮助优化您的网络。它不使用软件，而是在DNS级别限制和过滤这些类型的内容。它成为一个网关，专门设计用于13 岁以下儿童(kids under 13.)的设备。 我们稍后将讨论更改 DNS 设置(changing DNS settings)。
我发现此解决方案更好，主要是因为您可以将其限制在单个设备而不是整个网络上。相当多的人在他们的整个家庭网络上使用它，但目标是防止孩子访问成人内容网站。
它提供内容过滤(Content Filtering)功能，可以自动屏蔽成人内容——对于Google、YouTube、Bing等网站，它将使用严格模式(Strict Mode)过滤掉不适合儿童的内容。特别是(Particularly)对于YouTube，它将启用儿童模式(Kids Mode)以确保过滤掉所有露骨内容。它适合13岁以下的孩子。
我总是建议您监视他们经常观看的内容。YouTube 上有许多内容即使不是成人内容，也可能在道德上是错误的。它们会影响孩子的思维方式，如果您发现它们不合适，您有责任阻止它们。(I would always recommend you to monitor what they regularly watch. There are many contents on YouTube which could be morally wrong even if they are not adult content. They affect the way kids think, and if you find them not suitable, it will be your responsibility to block them.)
此服务提供两种类型的过滤器(There are two types of filter this service is offering)
家庭过滤器：(Family Filter:) 它阻止访问所有成人、色情和露骨的网站。它将阻止通常绕过过滤器的代理和VPN域。(VPN)除此之外，混合(Mixed)内容网站（如Reddit）也被阻止。Google、Bing和YouTube设置为安全模式(Safe Mode)。
- IPv4 地址(IPv4 address)：185.228.168.168 和 185.228.168.169
- IPv6 地址(IPv6 address)：2a0d:2a00:1:: 和 2a0d:2a00:2::
成人过滤器：(Adult Filter:)阻止访问所有成人、色情和露骨网站。它不会阻止代理或VPN(VPNs)，也不会阻止混合内容站点。允许使用Reddit等网站。谷歌(Google)和必(Bing)应设置为安全模式(Safe Mode)。
- IPv4 地址(IPv4 address)：185.228.168.10 和 185.228.168.11
- IPv6 地址(IPv6 address)：2a0d:2a00:1::1 和 2a0d:2a00:2::1

如何设置干净浏览
在 Windows 10 电脑上：(On Windows 10 PC:)
- 转到Settings > Network和Internet > Ethernet / WIFI > Change Adapter Settings > Select Ethernet再次选择以太网>右键(Right)单击并选择属性。
- 在此列表中，查找IPV 4或IPV 6，选择并单击属性。
- 在下一个屏幕中，选择使用以下 DNS 服务器地址(Use the following DNS server address)
- 在其中输入(Enter)上面提到的IP地址。
- 保存并退出。
在路由器上：(On a Router:)
- 每个路由器都有不同的DNS设置接口。您将需要找到它。
- 找到后，在其中输入上面提到的IP地址。
- 保存，重启路由器。
我建议您在路由器上使用它，前提是您为孩子配备了专用路由器。
类似的步骤适用于Mac、Android和 iPhone。查看需要选择静态 DNS(Static DNS)设置的网络设置，并进行相应更新。在手机上管理起来会很困难，因为所有者拥有所有控制权，如果你的孩子足够聪明，他或她会想办法改变它。

DNS 网关和解析器
由于DNS是一个网关，如果它运行良好，就会出现问题。该公司声称，他们的DNS Anycast网络经过高度优化，遍布全球所有主要地区，包括美国(USA)、南美(South America)、亚洲(Asia)和欧洲(Europe)。这为您提供了一个弹性、快速且安全的DNS提供商，它不会出现故障，并有助于使您访问的所有站点更快。
除此之外，DNS 解析器(Resolvers)建立在强大的开源Bind项目之上。它使用一些自定义补丁和修改来允许他们动态过滤不适当的域，而不会影响我们的性能或安全性。您可以在此处(here)(here.)查看干净浏览(Clean Browsing) 。

Safeguard your kids from adult content using Clean Browsing
It is no brainer that the Internet is full of content that is not suitable for kids and young family members. While I don’t support kids using mobile devices, and computers a lot, but restricting them won’t help eithеr. It’s best to educate them, and alsо put some restrіctionѕ so the content can be filtered automatiсally.
There are various free parental control software available for this type of situation, but then there is a lot of effort one needs to take to make it effective. In this post, we are talking about a service, Clean Browsing, which offers DNS-based parental control and SafeMode enforcement which can be useful for kids to prevent them from visiting adult content.
Clean Browsing DNS-based parental control
On a very basic level, it helps you to filter improper domains and help optimize your network. Instead of using software, it restricts and filters those types of content on DNS level. It becomes a gateway and is specially designed to be used on devices for kids under 13. We will talk about changing DNS settings in a bit.
I find this solution better mostly because you can restrict it on an individual device instead of the complete network. Quite a few people use it on their whole home network, but the goal is to prevent kids from visiting adult content websites.
It offers Content Filtering which will automatically block adult content – and for sites like Google, YouTube, Bing, and more it will use Strict Mode to filter out content that were not suitable for kids. Particularly for YouTube, it will enable Kids Mode to make sure all explicit content is filtered out. It is suitable for kids under 13.
I would always recommend you to monitor what they regularly watch. There are many contents on YouTube which could be morally wrong even if they are not adult content. They affect the way kids think, and if you find them not suitable, it will be your responsibility to block them.
There are two types of filter this service is offering
Family Filter: It blocks access to all adult, pornographic and explicit sites. It will block proxies and VPN domains which usually bypasses filters. Apart from that Mixed content sites (like Reddit) are also blocked. Google, Bing, and YouTube are set to the Safe Mode.
- IPv4 address: 185.228.168.168 and 185.228.168.169
- IPv6 address: 2a0d:2a00:1:: and 2a0d:2a00:2::
Adult Filter: Blocks access to all adult, pornographic and explicit sites. It does not block proxy or VPNs, nor mixed-content sites. Sites like Reddit are allowed. Google and Bing are set to the Safe Mode.
- IPv4 address: 185.228.168.10 and 185.228.168.11
- IPv6 address: 2a0d:2a00:1::1 and 2a0d:2a00:2::1

How to set up Clean Browsing
On Windows 10 PC:
- Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Ethernet / WIFI > Change Adapter Settings > Select Ethernet again > Right click and select properties.
- In this list, look for IPV 4 or IPV 6, select, and click on properties.
- In the next screen, choose to Use the following DNS server address
- Enter the IP mentioned above address in it.
- Save, and exit.
On a Router:
- Every router has a different interface for DNS settings. You will need to locate it.
- When found, enter the IP mentioned above address in it.
- Save, and restarts your router.
I will suggest you use this on the router, only if you have a dedicated router for your Kids.
Similar steps apply for Mac, Android, and iPhone. Look at the network settings where you need to choose Static DNS settings, and update it accordingly. It’s going to be tough to manage on phones because the owner has all the control, and if your kid is smart enough, he or she will figure out how to change it.

DNS Gateway and Resolvers
As DNS is a gateway, a concern would be there if it works well. The company claims that their DNS Anycast network is highly optimized with a presence on all major parts of the globe which includes the USA, South America, Asia, and Europe. That gives you a resilient, fast, and secure DNS provider that won’t go down and will help make all your sites that you visit a bit faster.
Apart from this, the DNS Resolvers are built on top of the powerful open-source Bind project. It uses some custom patches and modifications to allow them to dynamically filter improper domains without affecting our performance or security. You can check out Clean Browsing here.
