Parental controls with VPN: Block explicit content
ExpressVPN's apps include a built-in adult-site blocker with every subscription to protect your children from harmful content.
Greater control of your family’s internet
Content filtering is one aspect of parental controls on children’s devices, allowing parents to restrict access to age-inappropriate content, including explicit material. ExpressVPN’s adult-site blocker is a tool to prevent your family from seeing explicit content on porn sites. When you enable the feature, sites on our blocklist will not load.
