Block All Adult websites

Setting up this DNS works. Check out the YouTube video on how to set kids' safe DNS 

DNS: 94.130.180.225

SEC DNS: 78.47.64.161

@Sham_50​  There is.  You just can't do it with a crippled cable company gateway you rent for $14-16/month.  To do it, you'd need other networking equipment.

I'd suggest a firewall and using add-on packages like PFblockerNG.  Then you'd control whatever threat source or DNSBL list you like.  You can do that globally, or isolate subnets just for the kids.  

Here might be a thought. Are you renting a Gateway or do you own your own cable modem/router? The reason I ask is that there are various services 'out there' that allow you to block unsavory sites but AFAIK you can't do it with Xfinity's hardware. You might be able to use Xfinity's gateway if you can put it in bridge mode and use your own router. In your own router you should be able to use/enable family safe services. For example, I use startpage.com as a search engine. It blocks adult content by default, I would have to specifically ask it to show adult content. I imagine there's a way to prevent kids enabling 'view adult content' mode but I don't know how to do it. There are DNS servers that you could point your router to that block unsavory sites. Xfinity's gateway doesn't have that capability AFAIK.

If you're renting a gateway you could do the math on renting vs. buying. In my case 8 months rental saved me enough to buy a cable modem. I already had the router. If you do choose to buy a cable modem, be sure to get one that will work with Xfinity. They do have a list of cable modems that work with Xfinity.

We know you have choices, and we thank you for choosing Xfinity.

@XfinityKrista​ This is totally worthless. I do not want to look up the url for every porn site just so I can block it. I want something like OpenDNS does, where I tell them the categories, and they block the content for me. Does nobody at Xfinity actually use the products they're releasing? Because this is 100% WORTHLESS to me as a parent.
