How can I block categories such as pornography on my broadband connection?

I have just joined EE from Plusnet.  I use to be able to restrict certain categories from my broadband connection e.g. pornography, violence, gambling etc.

 

There does not seem to be anyway to do this with EE.  I have downloaded Norton Family which just does not offer a simple solution and is required on all devices.  All I want to do is click on different categories I want to block and that it is applied to all devices connected to my network.

 

I have spent half a day on this and had no success.  I am really regretting having moved to EE.

 

Does EE provide basic filtering on its broadband?  I am not interested in trying to do this through a third party app.

Is t this with your phone though and not computers? I have this all set on my phone which is fine but can still Google ‘porn’ on the home computer and my little girls Amazon fire tablet.

@Charlsims : For your Home BB connection, have a look at OpenDNS Family Shield . It just needs the DNS changing on your router.

I've just been trying to add the openDNS server settings to my router but it's really not clear how to do it.  I worked out that I can change ipv6 server settings but checked properties of wifi connection to the router on one of the family Windows PCs and its using an ipv4 server. I'm very confused and need clear step by step guidance please. Otherwise I think we'll have to move to a provider who can help us.

@coffeeandtv : Which router have you?

 

Dunno why you are messing about with IPv6 settings. EE BB doesn't support IPv6.
