You could also consider using OpenDns.

Don't forget to do the ipv6 setup as well.

@Tony I know this is an old thread about Parental Controls, but I just got a new TP router and none of the controls look like this any more.  I just set up an AX50 (working great with connectivity).
When I use the browser to edit the router settings, and click on "Parental Controls" it no longer has any controls within the router.  It's just a static page telling me to use the Tether app, which gives access to the HomeCare settings.  I did that, but the controls in the app seem really basic compared to what you could do before, when the web filtering was right in the router controls.  Are there any home routers in the TP line-up that let you change Parental Controls in the browser interface, rather than the Tether app?

Thanks!
