Block Custom URL's with BlockP | Wesbite Blocker for Android

You can find anything you want on the internet in seconds - highly convenient but equally distracting. Especially for someone trying to quit porn, or who needs to safeguard their focus while being online, it poses a hard challenge. That’s where a website blocker for Android can help.

Usually, a porn website blocker app lets you block adult websites. But a website blocker for Android like BlockP can help you block any website - so it gives you much more freedom and better flexibility to stay protected from online distractions.

How to Enable Website Blocker on BlockP Android App

Here is how to enable the website blocker on your Android device with BlockP:

Step 1: Install BlockP

Download the BlockP app from the Google Play Store and install it on your Android phone.

Step 2: Sign Up on BlockP

• Open the BlockP app.
• Sign up using Email or Google.
• Or tap Continue as a Guest to get started without creating an account.

Step 3: Give Necessary Permissions

1. Accessibility - Lets the Android porn blocker see what you are watching on your screen. Here is how to let BlockP use it:

• Click on the Accessibility permission toggle.

• Then click on "Let BlockP Access Accessibility Services"

• Next, click on the Enable button

• Next, click on the downloaded apps button.

• Now, you will find Blockp - click on BlockP.

• The new screen will show a toggle in front of BlockP - enable the toggle and then click on the Allow button to complete the accessibility permission.

2. Overlay - lets BlockP show you a blocked screen and message when you try to access porn.

• Click on Overlay permission toggle.

• You will get a menu with a list of apps titled - Display over other apps. Find BlockP in this list and click on it.

3. Disable battery optimization - so that BlockP can keep working in the background to filter adult content.

• Click on the Disable battery optimization toggle

• When prompted, tap Allow to let BlockP run in the background. This helps BlockP stay active and block content without interruption.

Step 4: Go to the BlockP App's Home Screen

On the bottom of the BlockP home screen, find the ‘Block list’ icon (it is the second icon from the left, next to the dashboard), and click on it.

Step 5: Add Websites to the Blocklist

In the Block List section, you will see two options - Blocklist and Whitelist. Click on the Blocklist option.

At the bottom of the screen, you will find the ‘Add Items’ button; click on it and you will see three options:

1. Add app
2. Add website
3. Add keyword

Click on the ‘+’ sign in front of the ‘Add website’ option.

Now, BlockP opens a new window where you can enter the name of the website. Enter the website name without the www tag - for example, xxx.com or xxx.net.

You will be automatically redirected to the BlockList section, and you can see the websites you have blocked in the blocklist.

Repeat the process to add any number of websites you want to block.

Benefits of Using BlockP's Website Blocker

1. Different users have different online habits. So, if there is only a fixed blocklist or only the developer can edit the blocklist, it makes the feature a little less effective.

2. When you block porn websites on Android, it adds another layer of protection over the automatic adult website blocking boundaries of BlockP.
