I wish to setup an Android mobile phone for my 12 year old son. I currently use the family shield on his laptop for free. This works well.

Now I  want to block adult content when he is using wifi and data on the phone outside of the home.

Does the 'prosumer' option provide this?

regards

  OpenDNS is a service for networks you own, not for your devices in other networks.

  And no, Prosumer doesn‘t provide Android support.

  So none of the android phones will work with open dns or is it that open dns will not provide customer support?

  Also, I am sure I read on here that the prosumer option (or was it another option) will block content if using phone on a different wifi network (to the home network) or when using mobile data?

  Can you confirm either way please

  thanks.

  You can configure Android devices to use OpenDNS, but not the dashboard.

  And again, Prosumer doesn’t come with Android support.

  Thanks but does the the prosumer option block content when using external wifi networks and mobile data when away from the home network?

  And is the support you are referring to online customer support?

  Prosumer comes with support only for Windows and Mac OS X, not for Android, iOS, Linux or what else. I didn’t mean customer support.

  Yes, it does this indeed, on Windows and Mac OS X computers.
