Screen Time on the iPad keeps resetting or my kid figured out the passcode. Is there another reliable method to block specific websites or adult content on an iPad, perhaps through the router settings or a third-party DNS app, that doesn’t rely on Apple’s Screen Time?
Hey robinwalker!
Totally get your frustration - kids are way too tech-savvy these days!
Here are some solid workarounds: Set up OpenDNS or CleanBrowsing at your router level (blocks content network-wide), or install a DNS filtering app like 1.1.1.1 for Families directly on the iPad. For maximum control though, I’d recommend Eyezy - it’s specifically designed for parental monitoring and won’t get bypassed like Screen Time can.
What’s your current router setup - are you comfortable diving into router settings? ![]()
