Question

How can I block something on an iOS device?

Community Answer

To block a website like Facebook from stealing your information do the following: Follow these instructions to the "website" screen, but THEN, go to the "Limit Adult Content" section. There will be an option that says "Never Allow This site". Type in Facebook.

Question

At step 2 when I enter sudo nano /etc/hosts and press enter, I get a little symbol of a "key" which will not allow me to enter my administrator's password. Any suggestions to overcome this?

Community Answer

When the key symbol appears, type the administrator's password and ignore the fact that what you type doesn't show up on the screen, then press enter. The password is just invisible on your screen for security reasons.

Question

I found that the method mentioned in the article blocks all the websites I have added except Bing. How do I block Bing?

Community Answer

I have found that with some websites you need to add multiple versions of the url to get the block to work, such as one line with the 3 w's before the url and another without it.

Question

How do I block adult material on an iPad?

Community Answer

There is a restrictions area in the settings. This is for people with kids who need it to be blocked. You just need to set a password and turn it on.
