I'm looking for an Android app that lets you block websites. I tried Freedom.to and Netguard - both are not for me.
What are you using?

I've used the Chrome plugin from deprocrastination and it's been really great for scheduling focus and distraction free time: https://www.deprocrastination.co/ I think the author is working on getting it back in the plugin "app store" so it might not be available at the moment.

@david_sykora Thanks for sharing, David. 👍 I will check it out once it's back
The Forest app is amazing!
I am using Limit extension . Limit is a Chrome browser extension that allows you to limit your time spent on distracting websites.
Try
24×7hardcore*** app
It works
I'm using a Pi-hole with openvpn. the Pi hole allows me to manage sites that I want blocked, including malicious, pornographic, and ads all via dns while openvpn does two things; anonymizes my IP/location and encrypts my traffic so that the mobile IP or any wifi cannot do anything malicious.
I also follow that up with running Lookout for host intrusion detection.
@dwight_a_spencer That's awesome! Thanks for your suggestion, Dwight. I will try it out 👍

@andrefuchs yep buddy. Same to you Andre!
@michael_andreuzza Thank you, Michael. OpenDNS looks really interesting. Stay safe
I use airplane mode. It works really well, blocking everything 😅
@giannoulakis Corona and airplane mode? You're hardcore! 🔥😉
Freedom blocks distracting websites and apps, but it does so much more than that TellPopeyes.
