Alternative Filter Solution for Android devices

Android devices are very hard to filter. There are workarounds, loopholes etc. So in conjunction with a filter you MUST also have a reporting software, which will monitor all web logs and send a report to your Rav or chaver, whichever you choose.

For the best solution for Androids see this page. If it doesn't work for your phone, try the alternative solution below.

The process of protecting an Android device is a 3 step process:

Step 1.

a. Sign up for a monthly Covenant Eyes account here https://secure.cvnt.net/signup/?nocode you can complete this on your computer.

b. From your Android device open the web browser and go to http://www.covenanteyes.com/androidalpha/ and click on the first link where it says 'Download The Android App'. This will start downloading Covenant Eyes to your device.

c. From the top bar, find the downloaded Covenant Eyes file, click on it to install it. You will be asked to install also 'Covenant Eyes Helper'. Do so.

d. Open the Covenant Eyes app and sign in using your User Name and password you chose during sign up. Remember to put a check by 'stay signed in'.

 

Step 2.

Step 3.
