This site is for adults

BestFetishPorn links to sexually explicit fetish videos and is only for people 18 or older. Every visitor sees an "Adults only" notice first, and the browser remembers the answer for 30 days. Clearing this site's data in the browser brings the notice back. But a notice will not stop a curious child. The tools below can.

Every page here carries the RTA label, both in the page and in the server's response. RTA means Restricted To Adults: a free, standard label that adult sites add so that parental-control software, browsers and filters can recognize them and block them. Our pages are also marked as adult for search engines, so SafeSearch can leave them out of results. A search engine's own crawler reads our pages without the notice, once we have confirmed that its address belongs to that search engine, so that it can see what a page is and label it.

Windows

Use Microsoft Family Safety. Give your child their own Microsoft account in your family group, then turn on "Filter inappropriate websites and searches" under Content filters. The filter works in Microsoft Edge, and other browsers are blocked while it is on. Microsoft's instructions.

Mac

Use Screen Time. In System Settings, open Screen Time, choose your child if you use Family Sharing, turn on Content & Privacy, and set web content to Limit Adult Websites. Lock the settings with a Screen Time passcode your child does not know. Apple's instructions.

iPhone and iPad

Use Screen Time, ideally through Family Sharing so you can manage it from your own phone. Under Content & Privacy Restrictions, set web content to Limit Adult Websites, and set a Screen Time passcode your child does not know. Apple's instructions.

Android

Use Google Family Link. In the Family Link app, choose your child, go to Controls, then Google Chrome and Web, and pick "Try to block explicit sites". This covers Chrome only, so use Family Link to block other browser apps as well. Google's instructions.

Home router or filtering DNS

A filtering DNS service blocks adult sites for every device on your home network. You enter its two addresses in your router's DNS settings; your router maker's manual shows where. Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 for Families (1.1.1.3 and 1.0.0.3) and OpenDNS FamilyShield (208.67.222.123 and 208.67.220.123) are free. They cover only your home connection, not a phone on mobile data, so use them alongside the device settings above.

Search engines

SafeSearch hides explicit results. In Google, set SafeSearch to Filter; on a child's account supervised with Family Link it is on and locked, and only a parent can change it. In Bing, set SafeSearch to Strict, or let Microsoft Family Safety filter searches for you. Google's instructions and Microsoft's instructions.

Where to get help

ProtectKidsOnline.ca, from the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, has age-by-age advice for parents. In the United States, NCMEC's NetSmartz has online safety material for families.

If you think a child is being exploited online, call the police if they are in danger, and report it to Cybertip.ca in Canada or the CyberTipline in the United States. Young people in Canada can talk to Kids Help Phone at any hour, for free.
