Filtering Software for Sex and Porn Addicts:
The best options for filtering software that most Certified Sexual Addiction Therapists (CSAT) would endorse would be:
1. Net Nanny: Net Nanny has parental controls, screen time management, website blocker, block apps, track location, internet filter, block pornography, alerts and reporting, family feed, and a parental dashboard. Net Nanny is known for blocking inappropriate content in real time. Net Nanny is usable on Windows, Mac, or IOS 11 and higher. Most individuals with whom Dr. Braun has worked as clients have had a positive experience with this software and have claimed that it has helped them. Here is a link for Net Nanny
2. Qustodio Parental Control: Qustodio Parental Control filters content and apps, monitors activity, sets time limits, tracks calls and SMS for Android and IOS, has a family location feature, and has daily, weekly, and monthly reports of online activity that can be sent to an accountability partner by email.
