Feel free to share your successes in resisting the urge to view schmutz on an unfiltered device (referring to one that cannot be filtered for whatever reason). Need some chizuk in this area. I do the TaPHSiC method so feel free to share tips on what works and what doesn't with regards to that as well.

Nothing would work for me. Unfiltered and I'm outta the building. Not because I'm so amazing. Just the opposite. Seriously. Nothing. Would. Work.

An unfiltered internet is like playing Russian Roulette.  Must avoid it at all cost

I’m dead with an unfiltered device.
If it’s around the house that’s one thing, but if it’s mine and in my pocket! Forget it.

Just get a filter buddy, it’s the only way.

I would have to ask them to either keep it in a safe or have it password protected with them being brazen enough to tell me no when I ask them to open it. And obviously when you figure out the password, your dead all over again.

Honestly, not the best situation to be in, but a good place to start is by requesting the device to be off limits at night and when no one is around. Off limits means I guess put in a safe (place) under lock and key that you cannot pick or know where the key is. 
I know a family where the unfiltered laptop goes under the parents bed after 11 pm (this wont work if you are the parent but then get that filter). Still doesn't help for when no one is around but it's a start.

If it isn't yours please specify whose it is and why you can't ask them to block or filter. If you are embarrassed to ask them, people here have real good excuses (not like "Hi I'm a pervert  )they could help you manufacture.

If you only have to use it once or twice a day, text a GYE partner when going on and off the device. Make a knas for not reporting that you are using it.

Hey,
I've had a similar issue before and its not always as simple as 'just getting it filtered".
Is it a device that you need to use for anything? If so is it possible to move what you use that device for to another device?
I'd consider adding to your taphsic that using, touching, or even being in the same room alone with it is considered a fall (to trigger knasos etc) even if nothing comes of it.
As others said, if it's possible to get it filtered that's ideal, but sometimes it either isnt possible, or in my case I just wasn't brave enough. 
Hatzlacha!

ps. A pitfall here (as well as with taphsic in general) is falling into a pattern of thinking "hey this seems to be working. I'm pretty much in the clear. No way I'd fall/touch the device if it means doing x, y and z after". Believe it or not their is a way. And it's easy to wiggle out/justify to self not doing the k'nas. It's super important because of this to choose knasos you are confident you will follow through in even when you will feel beat and uninspired, and to stay true to whatever you define as a fall

I got a different nisoyoin. I should setup a new thread called, Tips on how to resist a filtered device. The challenge to break through is so strong. 

I highly recommend everyone to have a filter. My point is, the moment I feel complacent and rely on the filter to protect me, is the moment I start to slip and fall.

Daven for siyata dshmaya to help you overcome nisyoinos whether it is filtered or not.
