How to Block Porn Permanently on Any Device

Most porn blockers are not permanent. They work until the moment you want them to stop working, and then they take a minute to switch off. If you have ever deleted a blocker app, changed a setting back or typed in a passcode you knew, you already know this.

A permanent block is one you cannot undo when the urge hits. This guide shows why the usual methods fail, what a block that cannot be bypassed looks like, and how to set one up on your iPhone, Android phone, Mac or Windows PC.

Why Most Porn Blockers Are Not Permanent

Every common method has the same weakness: the person it is protecting can turn it off.

• Screen Time and parental controls. You set the passcode, so you know the passcode. Late at night, that is all it takes.
• Blocker apps. Most can be deleted in seconds. Deleting the app deletes the block.
• Browser extensions. They only cover one browser. Open another browser, or an app with a built-in browser, and the block is gone.
• DNS filters. They are free and cover the whole device, but you can change the setting back in under a minute. Our DNS guide shows exactly how easy that is.
• Router filters. They only work on your home Wi-Fi. Switch to mobile data and they stop.
• Willpower. It is strongest in the morning and weakest at 1am, which is exactly when you need it.

None of these fail because you are weak. If you have ever wondered why you cannot stop watching porn, this is a big part of the answer. They fail because they leave the decision with you, in the moment when you are least able to make it.

What a Permanent Porn Block Needs

A block you can rely on has to do four things:

1. Cover every browser and app. Not one browser, not one app. The whole device.
2. Stay on after a restart. If turning the device off and on again removes it, it is not a block.
3. Be impossible to switch off early. No passcode you know, no setting you can change, no support team you can talk into unlocking it.
4. Cover every device you own. If your phone is blocked and your laptop is not, the laptop is where you will go.

How QuitPorn Blocks Porn Permanently

QuitPorn is built around one idea: a lock nobody can end early. You choose how long the lock lasts, anywhere from one day up to a year. Once it starts, it cannot be bypassed. Not by you, not by anyone you ask, and not by our support team. When the time is up, it ends on its own.

• It blocks porn in every browser and every app on the device, including private and incognito windows.
• It stays on after restarts.
• It works on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and Windows, up to five devices on one account.
• It does not record your browsing or send reports to anyone.

A longer lock chosen on a good day protects you on the bad ones. When it ends, you can start a new one straight away.

How to Block Porn Permanently on iPhone and iPad

On iPhone and iPad, QuitPorn uses Apple's own Screen Time, the strongest blocking an iPhone has. During setup, a random Screen Time passcode is set that you never see. Because you do not know it, you cannot turn the restrictions off, and nobody can give it to you early. When your lock ends, your dashboard shows the passcode so you can remove the block.

Setup takes about 15 minutes with step-by-step guidance. Our iPhone guide covers every option in detail.

How to Block Porn Permanently on Android

On Android phones and tablets, the QuitPorn app blocks porn across the whole device: every browser, every app and every incognito tab. There is no passcode at all. Our server ends the lock on the date you chose, so there is nothing to find, guess or ask for. Samsung, Google Pixel, Motorola and other Android phones are all covered.

How to Block Porn Permanently on Mac and MacBook

On a Mac or MacBook, the QuitPorn app blocks porn in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and every other browser and app. As on Android, there is no passcode. The lock ends by itself on the date you chose.

How to Block Porn Permanently on a Windows PC or Laptop

On Windows 10 and Windows 11, the QuitPorn app blocks porn across every browser and app on your PC or laptop, and it stays on after a restart. There is no passcode. Our server ends the lock when the time is up.

Block Every Device, Not Just One

Before you lock each device, delete everything saved on it so there is nothing left behind the lock.

The most common mistake is locking the phone and forgetting the laptop, or locking the laptop and forgetting the tablet in the drawer. The urge will always find the one device you left open. Make a list of every phone, tablet and computer you use, including old ones, and lock all of them on the same day.

What to Do While the Lock Is On

A permanent block removes the option. These habits make the weeks easier:

• Keep your phone out of the bedroom at night. Late nights alone are when most slips happen.
• Have a plan for urges. Leave the room, take a cold shower, go for a walk or call someone. Our urge toolkit has more.
• Tell one person. Quitting in secret is harder than it needs to be.
• Know what is coming. The first weeks are the hardest. Our 90-day recovery timeline shows what to expect, week by week.

Common Questions

Can I unlock it early if I really need to?

No. That is the point. Once a lock starts, nobody can end it early, including our support team. Choose a length you are sure about.

What happens when the lock ends?

On iPhone and iPad, your dashboard shows your Screen Time passcode so you can remove the restrictions. On Android, Mac and Windows, the lock simply ends by itself. You can set a new lock straight away.

Does it work in incognito or private mode?

Yes. The block covers the whole device, so private and incognito windows are blocked too.

Can I block porn on more than one device?

Yes. One account covers up to five devices, across iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and Windows.

How much does it cost?

Plans start from $10 a month. If you change your mind, you can get a full refund within 7 days of purchase, as long as you have not started a lock. See the plans.
