Parental Control software for boys first gaming pc?

[Ryzenuser19]

so my step sons getting his first rig for his 8th birthday. im in need of parental control software that will allow him to game but prevent anything like porn, graphic/gory images videos ect, lock him away from social media. 

youtube i can rely on youtubes controls for that.

games i will crack so he can play them without needing access to steam himself, unless there isnt one available.  same for other stores. we want to gradually let him have access to more things like the stores ect when hes around 10.

hes so into genshin impact atm as am i that i said if hes lucky he might get his own laptop to play it on low. instead ive decided to give him the skylake build i was asking questions about earlier in the week.

You may want to consider using DRM-less installs with GOG.

Try 1.1.1.1 for Familes, which can enforce Safe Search on compatible sites, block porn, and block some malware domains. https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/1.1.1.1-for-families

 

You can block malware and social media with StevenBlack's host files available at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/social/hosts. Other variants are available at https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts.

this looks good, i use zonealarm for a firewall so hopefully its good fo that too.

A good old Proxy Server on your Home Server and or a Firewall with Contend Mananger.

There are just less ways to get arround that. The Simple one is buy a Prepaid Sim and use them for the nasty Pictures.

Steam has family view. Never used it myself but I think you can create an account for him and then enabled family view that only shows a white list of games you preselect or something like that.
