BlockP

BlockP is a mobile application designed to block adult content at the network level using DNS filtering and AI detection. The program blocks millions of adult sites across browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and UC Browser, enforces SafeSearch on Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo, blocks newly installed apps and browsers, prevents VPN disable attempts, and includes meditation exercises with focus mode for productivity.

• AI adult content blocker. This function filters explicit material at the network level using an artificial intelligence algorithm. The AI detects adult content in real time across websites, video platforms like YouTube, social networks like Reddit, and all search engines. Unlike keyword-based filters, the AI adapts to new threats automatically.
• DNS-based site blocking. The program blocks more than one million adult domains through encrypted DNS filtering. This method prevents access to pornographic websites before the page loads, working system-wide on the Android device without slowing down browsing speed.
• New app installation blocking. When the user installs a new browser or any application from the Play Store, BlockP detects the installation and prevents opening the newly added app. This function stops workarounds where users attempt to bypass restrictions using alternative browsers.
• Uninstall notification system. Any attempt to remove BlockP from the Android phone triggers an immediate notification to an accountability partner. The partner receives details about the uninstall attempt, enabling external monitoring of the user's commitment to blocking rules.
• Password protection with accountability partner. The user sets a password that the app sends directly to a trusted partner. Changing any setting or disabling the blocker requires this password, which only the partner possesses. This mechanism replaces self-control with external oversight.
• App blocker for distractions. This feature blocks specific applications including YouTube, Instagram, Telegram, and Facebook. The user selects which apps to restrict, and BlockP prevents launching those programs while the blocking mode is active.
• Custom website blocklist. Users add individual website addresses such as Google.com, Facebook.com, or gambling domains to a personal blocklist. The system also supports keyword blocking, allowing users to filter pages containing specific terms.
• Force SafeSearch enforcement. BlockP activates SafeSearch by default on all major search engines including Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yandex. This adds an extra protection layer against adult content, explicit images, and malware-infected adult sites inside browser results.
• Meditation module for urge reduction. The application includes guided interactive meditation sessions designed to lower psychological urges to consume explicit material. The meditation tool helps users calm down during moments of craving without leaving the blocking environment.
• Focus mode with timer. This function locks the Android phone for a specified period, preventing any use of the device. Users set a timer between 15 minutes and several hours. During focus mode, notifications are suppressed and all apps remain inaccessible until the timer expires.
• Always-on VPN filter. BlockP operates a persistent VPN connection that filters all network traffic for adult content. The system prevents the user from disabling the VPN through standard Android settings, ensuring continuous protection without manual reactivation.
• Custom redirect URL. When a blocked website or application is accessed, BlockP redirects the user to a custom URL instead of showing an error message. This function allows redirecting to productivity tools, educational content, or personal motivation pages.
• Community support access. The application connects users to a community of individuals pursuing similar behavioral goals. Community members provide advice, share strategies, and offer motivation when the user experiences difficulties maintaining restrictions.
• Instant technical support. BlockP provides direct support channels for troubleshooting blocking issues, false positive detection, configuration problems, and general guidance. Support responses address app malfunctions, unwanted blocking incidents, and setup questions.
• Incognito mode blocking for Chrome. This feature automatically disables incognito mode and guest mode within the Chrome browser. Users cannot access private browsing sessions, maintaining consistent filtering across all browsing activities. For other browsers, BlockP blocks unsupported browsers entirely.
• Long sentence password option. Instead of a standard password, the user sets a long character string sentence. Disabling any blocker function requires typing this entire sentence manually, creating a delay that discourages impulsive deactivation of protections.
• Block newly installed browsers. BlockP intelligently detects when the Play Store installs any new browser application. The system prevents the user from opening that browser, closing a common bypass method where users install alternative browsers after the initial setup.
• Block app that prevents VPN from disabling. This function protects the VPN-based filtering system from being turned off by the user or by other applications. BlockP maintains the VPN connection even when external processes attempt to disconnect or override the filtering service.
• Social media blocking toggle. The program includes dedicated switches to block access to all major social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Snapchat. This function helps users reduce time on distracting networks.
• Gambling and shopping site filter. BlockP provides separate toggle options to block gambling domains and online shopping websites. Users enable these filters independently from adult content blocking, creating customized restriction profiles for different goals.

Development of the BlockP app began in 2019, created by a team of engineers specializing in mobile security and parental controls. The original developers focused on addressing the lack of effective tools to block adult content on Android devices, particularly those that could operate at the network level without relying solely on keyword lists. The app is written primarily in Kotlin and Java for the Android core, while the artificial intelligence components for explicit content detection use models implemented in Python with TensorFlow Lite for on-device execution.
