Why this matters:How to recognise this workaround on your side, and what closes it on your side — without telling you how to do the workaround.
Detection
The plan relies only on a network-layer filter but lacks vendor-documented device and account controls.
Fix (technical)
Do not use this file to configure or test bypasses. Document the filter’s vendor, its supported enforcement layer and whether the child device can change relevant network settings; obtain a current vendor statement before making claims. [saferinternet-at-technical-controls]
Fix (relational)
Curiosity about blocked material should trigger a conversation about the need and a safer way to access legitimate information.
Residual risk
No inspected first-party source tested VPN, custom DNS or DNS-over-HTTPS against a current parental-control product.
