my-pihole-blocklists VS crankshaft

Pi-hole should work fine for content blocking, you would basically create a group for the kids, add their devices via MAC, and then assign blocklists to that group to block content you don't want kids to see. There's lists available to block pornography, dating services, SPLC designated hate groups, gambling and a whole bunch of other stuff. You can also add sites individually.

Tangentially related:

Somebody created a github containing domains he thought should be blocked: https://github.com/chadmayfield/my-pihole-blocklists

A year later I bought a domain that had expired under my country TLD. It turns out that domain for some reason was previously added to that list.

Now, as you can see, the man behind that Github repo has decided to archive that repo and therefore make it read only.

As you can tell from both pull requests and issues on that repo, people has asked him to remote legitimate domains (e.g. *.urbandictionary.com). But those calls remain unanswered. It is fruitless to contact the author.

So this random dude causes real problems for legitimate business and individuals and we should just accept it?

Obviously he doesn't act on friendly geek requests. It seems lawyering up would be the only recourse in this situation. I find it analogous to somebody standing on a soap box in a village and announcing: "Don't trust James. Don't trust Mary either. There's problems with Charles" and James, Mary, and Charles have no way of stopping his libel.

I don't have the funds for legal action, but it is obviously wrong that he can announce "these domains are bad" and offer no way of fixing mistakes. He should take down the repo, but oh that sweet sweet Github karma probably discourages him from doing so.

Have you checked out https://github.com/chadmayfield/my-pihole-blocklists

I got mine from here: https://github.com/chadmayfield/my-pihole-blocklists sorry if not allowed to post links. This list seemed to match some sites I know about and others that I wouldn't want the kids to find really.

I use the Chad Mayfield list (the "all" variant)

But, according to : https://github.com/opencardev/crankshaft/wiki/Android-Auto-Wifi

It's pi focused apparently https://github.com/opencardev/crankshaft/wiki

3)The route that I ended up going was to build my own unit with a Raspberry Pi running Crankshaft to run Android Auto and a 7" touchscreen that I mounted magnetically to a phone mount that inserts in the CD player. Doesn't look OEM butif you manage cords it looks pretty clean and works well. Also cost me under $100 and I can remove it easily any time I want. I'm a little techy so it wasn't too hard - there are tons of videos out there that will walk you through the project.

How about this? https://getcrankshaft.com/

Your other option, which I actually use in my R56, is to utilize the Crankshaft project with a Raspberry Pi and a generic 7" touchscreen from Amazon. I mounted mine with a magnetic mount from the CD drive and power it through the aux power port. Mine works both with wired and wireless Android auto, with very few glitches. If you're techy at all it doesn't take long to set up.
