    Apologies if wrong forum to post in .....need tech advice...I have boards as an icon on Iphone....the toddler had phone yday evening and as usual was pressing loads of keys...whatever he did to phone, when you try to go into boards it comes up as not opening and has a message on page saying
    ' No Entry
    Access denied'...this content is unsuitable for persons under the age of 15......It then goes onto explain various steps you can go through ...including bringing ID to a Vodafone agent! to get access opened....god knows what the 2 year old clicked on:).....is there a simple way to get boards back on phone without having hassle of going to a Vodafone shop.By the way...if I just google ' Boards.ie' and try to enter site that way from google search...the same No Entry message appears,
    appreciate any ideas....thanks.

    It sounds like Vodafone has added boards.ie to it's blocklist accidentally. You'll need to contact Vodafone to get it removed.

    I'd say boards should be blocked for people under 25.

    Its a mature content filter by vodafone. Ring'em up and they'll sort it out.

    Has happened to me a few times.

    On the contrary, how would I go about blocking boards on my phone so I can’t access it? Any apps for blocking websites etc.

    I know within latest iOS you go into settings, screen time, content restrictions etc then add websites you want to block.
    This doesn’t work for me however as I usually choose to ignore .

    I’m spending too much time on boards and other websites especially at night and would like to cut it out. Meaning if I want to go on I have to go to the laptop.

    Check out shieldmykids.ie.
    It's not just an app though. They have an app but it works with a WiFi router so that it protects both mobiles plus all other devices in the home.

    It's not free though. There's a monthly charge.
    It's mainly for parents wanting to control their kids Internet usage.

    If you are connected to home wifi then you can block in the router.

    can you override DNS on an iphone like you can on Android? I aways set '1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com' for my 'Private DNS' so your ISP DNS will be bypassed and IMO a lot faster which may help bypass Vodafone filters?

    (I use Vodafone and have no issues hitting boards)
