Dual Platform Parental Control System

Increasing use of the internet by children has led to increasing concern regarding net safety, unwanted content exposure, and over-screening.To counter these, this paper introduces a centralized system of parental control that incorporates DNS filtering and time control for efficient controlling and handling children's activities on the internet.The application features HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and SQL backend-web-based parent dashboard and Kotlin and XML-based Android child application with Gradle support.The child application uses DNS filtering for preventing unsafe domain blocking, tracks website-specific usage hours, and syncs data to the parent dashboard for real-time monitoring.The dashboard features in-depth reporting, setting time allowances, and handling multiple child profiles for effectiveness.With the application of multi-level control mechanisms, safe synchronisation, and easy-to-use interface, the system defined here guarantees improved online security, promotes correct use of the internet, and maintains privacy in online monitoring contexts.
