Guide to block all the pornography once for all!
but why would you want to block all pornography if you want to quit all pornography? EasyPeasy says that you don't have to do it.
◄ Matthew 5:30 ► : And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. - Hand obviously means reach. And if an alcoholic in recovery were to sleep with his bottle it would be non-sense but that's what people who seek to stop using pornography do. Obviously the addictive drive would take over. You can't quit crack cocaine while having infinite and free crack cocaine all around you. That's what pornography is, literally. as proven by real science. Hence why meditation and an overall strong routine are paramount to recovery.
David didn't kill Goliath easy peasy. It was an epic battle. that's what fighting any strong addiction is. But you have the weapons of light and you MUST FIGHT!!! Just as Lucifer captured Beatrice and took her to hell, you, Dante, must go there and free her , otherwise she will remain Lucifer's bride.
- Install cold turkey 4.5.
On windows, since this app isn't available on linux, you can use a debloated version like ReviOS/Tiny11/LTSC etc to get back your RAM, if you want.
Use my settings / Mirror.
take a look at how they work;
the block Keywords blocks most keywords that are to used access porn;
twitter and discord are banned but you can unban them from this block ; I recommend keeping them banned and using my config.
then update to the last version of cold turkey, as only 4.5 and below allow one to edit the 'Applications' tab from each block And the 'Browser' block.
AFTER you implemented the rest of the settings, lock Cold Turkey -> 'Keywords' & 'Browser' for a month. Afterwards You can lock it for more, like 3.
ALSO, in Cold Turkey, go to settings, then 'Blocking' , last option -> seconds given to re-enable.. and give it only 3 seconds. and install the browser extensions that you may need. Because this block will block the extensions downloading page.
- Optional step:
💠Make a .bat file with this (save as .bat, NOT as .txt).
then use an app to convert the bat file to an .exe file, such as 'Bat_To_Exe_Converter_x64.exe' with an icon like this.
add the .exe file in the taskbar by dragging it there, in the first place, and use winkey+1 (since it's first) to turn it on. it will block the Browser - hit it when you have a temptation and leave the PC. do something from a list made before (you should have a list with tasks for when you have a temptation) like 1h exercise, a cold shower ,a long walk, pranayama, meditation, and working on a project, then playing a game or something. make sure to do pranayama for at least 30m. You can write the list on a piece of paper or write it in notepads or on rentry like this.
I recommend to make the bat file like this⬇ | 10h since temptations do last, you won't have access to the browser when you turn it on with winkey+1 ; and it will also turn on KeyWords for an entire month if you add both commands, Just press winKey+1 when tempted. 43200 minutes = 1 month. stop is to block the browser temporarily when encountering strong temptations and keywords is the main block to block all pornography.
You can use https://reddit.nerdvpn.de/r/nofap (/https://safereddit.com/ ) for reddit. this instance blocks porn. https://libredirect.github.io/ use this and configure it for only the 2 instances aforementioned. Enable upvotes from settings before turning on the block.
if you find ways to view porn here, then make a block 'reddit'. block the entire reddit and whitelist the subreddits that you use.
If you have to search for something on reddit, then use an external search engine like google and search 'reddit' with one 'r'. like "how to make potato soup redit' or 'gaming r/linuxquestions' ; this way the page won't be blocked.
Brave is needed to work. My configuration blocks Edge & Firefox because there are ways to bypass the filter through them.
The block Browser blocks brave (it should be your only browser) during night, from 22:00 -> 06:00 every day , because most temptations arise at night.
But you can play games, watch offline content, read downloaded books.. or even access certain websites though webcatalog and nativefier [ the project is old and there may be some security vulnerabilities, use at your own risk!].
- Download my host file / mirror, click the 3 dots & download, and put it in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ .
Go to the hosts file, right click on it, select 'Properties' and configure it like this:
Cold turkey will block the 'Host properties' file and you will not be able to change these settings, hence you won't be able to edit or delete the hosts file given that you configured it like this. Make sure to not deny permission to the system from reading it, Only you the admin/user should not be allowed.
You should go to appdata ->Local->qBittorrent [%LocalAppData% in run] and delete 'nova3', this will only disable the search plugins in qBittorrent.
Experimental PATCH.
You can also prevent the access to safe mode , so in this way it will be impossible to uninstall cold turkey, impossible to remove the hosts file and impossible to remove CleanBrowsing, hence impossible to view porn; I tested it and it worked for me, but you should use at your own risk! maybe test on a fresh windows installation first. It most likely will work , nobody complained that it didn't .
Blocking Safe Mode:
There is no coming back from this. You will be unable to access safe mode and unable to uninstall cold turkey.
This will also mean that you cannot use safe mode for other intended purposes. You will have to do a full windows reinstall to remove it.
Open command prompt in administrator mode , type these lines one by one (push enter after each):
DO NOT PLAY WITH THESE COMMANDS BACK AND FORTH
They are special parameters and there is limited information available about them. The commands above are tested and pretty safe in my opinion , Felix, the founder of cold turkey , shared them too. But avoid playing around and making your own commands by changing 'on' to 'off ' or '{current}' to '{default}' etc ; I literally bricked my PC by doing so - proof ; edit: I tested these commands on more PCs and it worked on all.
- Download this -> https://cleanbrowsing.org/help/docs/setup-content-filtering-on-windows-with-cleanbrowsing/ & add select 'Free adult filter', then go to settings & add a random password (like aaaajdd923321 cxcxewk#(#0!@(#*@!(#!()io321iIODAIDADDA), then forget it. This will only block 99.99% of porn sites so you won't need to undo it.
============================================================
At the router level you can also change the DNS, given that your ISP allows it, so
DNS1: 185.228.168.10
DNS2: 185.228.169.11
Before locking Cold Turkey, You can even change the type of the windows account from Administrator to Standard, this way you will have even less authority to undo the changes.
Also for Linux,
if you don't want to switch OS which is what I'd recommend, then know that Ubuntu Christian Edition has an app called DansGuardian; also you can try this DNS and my hosts file, plus more resources here.
And these too work on Linux, Pluckeye, e2guardian, NxFilter ,alternatives Pluckeye.
How to block Porn on IOS:
You can try this configuration and block keywords via the BlockerX app or purge or appcrypt ; etc ; You can change the DNS with DNS Override or DNS Changer, and then lock the app. Or change the DNS in Brave and Private DNS in this way.
There's also the native way or the one-sec app.
How to block Porn on android:
You can also add the aforementioned hosts file on your android (pornaway or manually), if it is rooted. Just search the path on the internet and edit it with a file explorer app.
=========================================
Install Firefox / Firefox Lite / Vivaldi / Samsung Internet / Brave , there are ways to bypass it with other browsers. Install your extensions, then block the extension page too with the filter.
On Brave you can also go to Settings - > Brave Shields -> Content Filtering and check 'BlockLists Antiporn'.
Install NoPox 1.0.53 With the following settings: ↓ ; Set up the VPN / DNS first.
Brave-config.
If the VPN block does not work on your NoPox Version (it doesn't work in the last version, it's why I recommend 1.0.53) then you can go to brave settings - > Shields & Privacy - > Use secure DNS - > and add https://doh.cleanbrowsing.org/doh/adult-filter/ , AND open Private DNS in settings and add adult-filter-dns.cleanbrowsing.org , or use a DNS changing app , configure it with the DNS1 & 2 mentioned above, and lock it with NoPox.
The BlockList keywords: Torrent & magnet are needed to block torrent sites. Knaben is one of them. You can also block reddit since it's an evil site & use it only from PC if need be. [ few subreddits are ok]. Or use the aforementioned reddit front-end: reddit.nerdvpn.de/r/longtermTRE for lurking, if need be.
as for the WhiteList keywords, The DNS already blocks 99.99% of porn sites so blocking sites with too many keywords is not needed.
Select the VPN -> add the DNS mentioned above.
DNS1: 185.228.168.10
DNS2: 185.228.169.11
You can also use the Focus Mode feature to block your phone for x hours. In that case, add a bunch of whitelisted apps, to listen to some music & be able to read some books & access the basic apps.
Make sure that in the Focus Mode you whitelist camera, messages, gallery, my files and 'android' - that is the background android app. Also Calculator, clock, music and some offline book readers.
I also recommend NetherSX2, you can play PS2 games on it, just google the optimal settings.
You can also install this app digipaws , it's still in alpha.
