Considerations: Helps build friction where specific tools might miss.

Maintenance: Check blocked lists periodically.

3. Device-level restriction

Purpose: Using built-in OS features (like Screen Time) to lock settings.

Purpose: Filtering at the DNS or router level.

Considerations: Only applies to the specific network or requires strict profile management.

Technical setup required.

5. Payment restriction

Purpose: Limiting transaction capabilities at the bank level.

Considerations: Depends entirely on your financial institution's offerings.

6. Self-exclusion

Purpose: Formal registration to restrict account access.

Considerations: Check current provider terms and scope of exclusion.

7. Accountability

Purpose: Involving another adult in password management or review.

Considerations: Adds a human element of friction.
