  Me too, except it’s Adguard for me.

  Came in handy yesterday actually. I have a friend who works for a University which was recycling some Chromebooks.

  He managed to grab 3 for me, one for myself and one for my kids.

  Problem is that one of my kids is being supervised through Google Family Link which means for some reason the Play Store won’t work.

  So he is now unsupervised in Family Link just to get the Chromebook working.

  So I’ve just given both my kids static IPs and pointed their Chromebooks at Adguard, then turned on Safe Search and adult content blocking.

  Now I’m fairly confident they’re protected from a lot of the bad shit on the internet.

    I’ve configured my kids devices to use NextDNS, that way they are getting filtering no matter what network they use.

    AdGuard does what I need internally, it’s just external is the issue. VPN’s are not a solution, my kids are old enough to know they can just disable it to work around it. They don’t know about the Private DNS option that I have configured on their devices… Yet
