Can't they change their DNS settings?
Sure. But they aren't at that age to be aware. To be honest unless someone is clued up the average person wouldn't know either.
As someone who had tons of parental controls on my stuff as a child, they might figure it out far quicker than you'd think
They find ways yes. When I was blocking YouTube I found him watching YouTube via Spotify. Not sure how that worked. But I blocked that too as a result.
I don't think they have anything currently as when it's blocked you see them outside their bedrooms a lot more!
My mom disabled the browser on my phone, so I hit the button in an app to view the terms of service when then opened up an in-app browser. When she figured out how to stop that, I manually typed out the url for a google search and downloaded the webpage using shortcuts on an iphone, then hopped around the internet by downloading and viewing the webpages of any links I could find. Surprisingly, it worked on things like YouTube as well
On the bright side, stuff like that is why I'm far more computer literate than many other people around my age that aren't in college for something IT related
That's the point yes. At some point I'm sure they will work it out. But they haven't yet. Luckily the eldest is lazy. If he wasn't he would have read the email he got when he was 13 which meant he could leave the family group which I also use to turn off their devices for bed time...
