    Hello , hopefully I have posted in the correct section. Can anyone tell me can I do something to block access to porn sites at source i.e modem wifi router so that teens cannot access porn sites on their devices in their rooms. It is an Eircom ZyXEL model. Thanks

    You can use OpenDNS Family Shield

    It's pretty easy to circumvent though if they Google and figure out how to set static DNS on their devices. To completely control and block it you're going to need a better router.
