I was relying on iPhone restrictions on my phone until they stopped working. I think what happened was that a recent iPhone OS upgrade wiped out what I had put in place. As I had "thrown away" the password I had to find a way to retrieve it. This was really not very hard. So here are a few lessons:

1) Watch out for Upgrades
2) Having someone else only know your password is not at all full proof
3) I have since removed Safari as an allowable app as I found that it has weaknesses (even after release 12 restrictions) and use K9 instead
​4) If you are worried about not being able to link from emails - you can easily now copy them into K9

​I'm sure GYE Filter recommendations are better than mine - so look over there for better advice.

Hatzlacha!

Not sure if you've been to TAG and have your info on their files, because I got an email alert from them not to install the next OS upgrade due to possible issues...

You can replace Safari with Covenant Eyes browser

Alternately...

Covenant eyes has a browser? Or is that just for iOS.

Hi RMartin, I have pretty much the same setup as you. i also have safari disabled by restrictions (and i know how to break the password for that in a couple of minutes if I wanted to) and I use the K9 browser. It only filters the basic stuff and it's not configurable but it does the job. 

In truth I don't see that filters alone is a long-term solution for anyone with a problem. there's always a way around them. Personally, I can get around most filters pretty easily, and I have daily access to dozens of computers which I control the filters for. And in any case my original and primary problem was never the computer anyway, it's the real-life people i am attracted to and fantasize over, and there's no filter for that. 

Filtering is important, if only to prevent stuff from being seen by mistake, and to give you a bit of time to catch yourself and rethink what you're doing while you work to get around it. But real and lasting change has to come from within.
