I was setting  parental controls on my phone to try it out. It was successful. But it was unsuccessful on my stepsons phone. So I'm able to block certain sites whether I'm connected to wifi or not on my phone, but on my son's phone if his device is connected to wifi, parental controls partially work. Any suggestions!

Also this is a new router setup. I did all this through the app.

@AR1982 

 

In addition to setting up parental controls in the router, you can also change the router WAN DNS servers (Log into router using web browser > Advanced > Network > Internet, click Advance) to filter adult content like OpenDNS. 

 

If the phone uses a VPN connection that will bypass any filtering done by the router.

@Tony thank you for your reply. I will try out what you said. I don't think his phone uses any vpn. But if he were would that be an app he used or in the phones settings?

When I follow your directions it gives me two options. Get Dns dynamically from isp and use the following dns addresses, with a set of dns addresses. Am I going to choose use following dns addresses?
