I'm staying with a friend for a few days, potentially might have unfiltered devices, I'm gonna speak to him to try find a solution. Also may have just found a loophole with my filter, but I'm not going to check it. If anyone is a techie and knows about Android please let me know, I have general about filters, thanks.

Sorry to hear that. As long as you are going to chase your filter, trying to patch up everything possible...which will never happen, I'm afraid you will be running in circles. You are searching for the perfect bandaid...

I know, but it's frustrating because I wasn't looking for a loophole, but ended up finding one anyway.
I don't know what a healthy balance is, because I can't have access to these things, but I also can't try patch every last thing. What do I do?

Day 0 back here again. Really thought I was gonna go a month clean.
Like Grant said, I feel like I'm going in circles. Feeling disappointed in myself. Felt embarrassed to stand before Hashem during maariv tonight

BH there's no issues with unfiltered devices. But still sorting out my own one. Tag referred me to netspark, who I haven't always found useful. I'm looking into switching to gentech of they can solve the problems I'm having.

I believe you already know and have known for a while, the answer to that question. Orchestrating ones surroundings to fit his preferences will never work. All one can do is to learn how to live with his surroundings.
