filtering or blocking questions - need help please

[igorb81]

I am really interested in Adguard and would like to use it for my Android devices. I have a few questions and hoping one of you experts here can help me.

Is there any way to block specific websites? I am not able to figure out how to do that. For example, it would be useful to let's say block Google image search since Google is terrible about filtering any kind of inappropriate images. If it's possible how would I do it?

Are there any parental controls for Android version? I know that the Windows version that. We do use OpenDNS at the router level for our WIFI at home but I am not sure Adguard works with it or against it yet sometimes I feel like it may be compromising what OpenDNS does. Is there any way to whitelist OpenDNS efforts? I don't know how to accomplish this.

I'd like more than ad filtering on Android someone please let me know how I can accomplish this with Adguard if possible. There is too much pollution on the internet and I don't it to flood any of our devices. Please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Nope, we provide parental control in the Windows version.

However, AG shouldn't mess with OpenDNS in any way. Moreover, you can set up Adguard to use OpenDNS itself. It can be done in Adguard's low-level settings, look for "pref.vpn.dns" key there.

Just ask here on the forums. One more thing I'd like to mention right away - you'd better enable HTTPS filtering right away, thus AG will provide much better ad blocking quality.
