Easiest solution: point the fucking DNS to a family safe one and lock it behind passcode. Done.

This is how you "protect the children." Not by making a burden on everyone else. I don't need age verification on the internet, ever.

What do you mean lock it behind a passcode? How?

The router settings, require a password to change whether it's in family safe mode or not

What about the kids modifying the DNS settings or modifying the hosts file on their own machine?

Lock the settings app behind a passcode too, there's ways to block things like settings... Not sure if that works for individual screens in there though
