Okay, this is our review of the Clean Router, and this is what it does: it Blocks Porn. Yep, that is the official tagline, and I’m going to talk about how this works.
I noticed that most houses have a router these days, and this one is for free! Okay, you will have to pay $9.99 for the basic package, and then you will have to pay for the monthly service.
Just to let you know, I reviewed this particular device. Having hooked up routers already, it’s pretty easy as its just plugging it in with all the proper cables. Then all you need to do is hook it up and set up your Admin access and code words. Mine is…yeah, I’m not going to reveal that.
Needless to say, this is where I awkwardly admit that I had, as part of my job, the duty, no, the profession, to search the Internet for pornography. After doing a few searches, I clicked on them and got a screen that showed that I was blocked.
I could allow “Temporary Access” or “Permanent Access”. It is up to the administrator to enter the Admin code if you want to see the questionable material. In some cases, very questionable. Yeah, you’re going to get a lot of jokes like that in this review.
Needless to say, I saw that the Clean Router was able to block out anything porn-related, and eventually I got tired of blocked searches and entering the URLs of known porn sites. After a while, I just made stuff up to see if they were porn.

1) Best in class filtering with 7-layer IntelliFilter™
2) Logs all activity per device

I will let you decide whether or not you need this plan, but here is some things that I found, and I didn’t really have either when I tried it out. Just to let you know, I used the YouTube filter, and I could still use YouTube on my computer, but not on my phone.
Now, just to let you know, I have had a few false positives on the Clean Router. There were a few articles about cars, and I found that the Tesla pictures were covered with the Clean Router logo. What’s up with that? Did those pictures come from Playboy or something?
Okay, I’m going to recommend the Clean Router if you have kids and you want to block the from seeing stuff on the Internet that they shouldn’t be seeing at an early age. However, let’s talk about porn. If you believe that you have a problem, and you believe that this machine can help, then you need to learn that self control does not work that way.
