In this article, we will outline step by step how to set up your Google Pixel device to be child-proof and how to use CleanBrowsing to help block adult content on that device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Create a Child Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in setting up a child-proof pixel device is to create a child profile. This will ensure that your child has access to only age-appropriate content and apps. Here&#8217;s how you can create a child profile on your Pixel device:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open your device&#8217;s Settings app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scroll down and tap on &#8220;Users &amp; accounts&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap on &#8220;Add user or profile&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select &#8220;Restricted profile&#8221; and then tap on &#8220;Create profile&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give the profile a name and then choose the apps you want your child to have access to.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Enable Parental Controls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After creating the child profile, the next step is to enable parental controls. This will give you control over what your child can access on their device. Here&#8217;s how you can enable parental controls on your Pixel device:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open your device&#8217;s Settings app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap on &#8220;Digital Wellbeing &amp; parental controls&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap on &#8220;Set up parental controls&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the on-screen instructions to set a PIN and choose the settings you want to control.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Install CleanBrowsing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have created a child profile and enabled parental controls, it&#8217;s time to install CleanBrowsing to help block adult content on your child&#8217;s device. Here&#8217;s how you can install CleanBrowsing on your Pixel device:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open your device&#8217;s Settings app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap on &#8220;Network &amp; internet&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap on &#8220;Private DNS&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose &#8220;Private DNS provider hostname&#8221; and enter &#8220;<em>family-filter-dns.cleanbrowsing.org<\/em>&#8220;. If you have a CleanBrowsing paid account, please use the DNS over TLS domain provided <a href=\"https:\/\/my.cleanbrowsing.org\/dashboard?page=settings&amp;subpage=network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap on &#8220;Save&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: Configure CleanBrowsing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have configured CleanBrowsing, you can go to your account to block additional categories (like Gaming, Social Network, Gambling, etc). Here&#8217;s how you can do that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open your device&#8217;s web browser.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to the CleanBrowsing website (<a href=\"https:\/\/my.cleanbrowsing.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/my.cleanbrowsing.org\/<\/a>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on Categories and Filters and select additional categories to be filtered.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>And that&#8217;s it! Your Pixel device is now child-proof, and CleanBrowsing is helping to block adult content on your child&#8217;s device. Remember to regularly check your child&#8217;s device to ensure that they are using it responsibly and to make any necessary adjustments to the parental controls and CleanBrowsing settings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Setting up a child-proof device can be a bit intimidating at first, but it is doable when you know what to look for and often just take 10-15 minutes.
