No porn in house boundary - covenant eyes or other internet logging software?

Good News!  I've been working on a boundary with my partner re: porn. 
We are looking into options for filtering and logging. 
We've used K-9 and Net Nanny, but neither is consistent at logging. 
Questions for the forum:  I've been reading some about Covenant Eyes and it looks like it is based on logging rather than just blocking. Has anyone had any experience with this program?  Has it been useful?  If not, is there another one you use instead?  Is it easy to get around?

Any advice is appreciated.

we were using covenant eyes and it worked really well, you can get it to block as well as filter. I've switched to Norton though just as we switched to their antivirus and it made more sense to do it all with one company. My husband has an iPhone for work and on that I just disabled safari and set the apps so he can install but not uninstall, so if he downloads another browser or dodgy app he would have some explaining to do as he can't remove the evidence
Our internet provider also offers filtering, so check that option too, ours said it wouldn't stop everything so hence using Norton as well just in case

I use Covenant eyes on our work computer which I'm thinking about ending, its been a year and I know in the beginning he used to hotspot and probably other stuff.  I now feel confident that he is past that stage and is starting to GET IT !!  When I used to find something weird I would ask what is this what is that, so I think he finally gave in and realised that I was not letting it go this time, It was me or Porn !!

I still have his iPhone on restriction, like you said he can download aps but can't delete, mind you in the beginning he actually restored his phone to hide something, I am pretty sure it was winzip  ::)  Anyway I still have K9 on the laptop and at home nothing really as we are always at work.  I would like to just have something monitoring the net so I was thinking of ringing the server and see what they could do from there end, the problem we have these days, is the Large LED TVS are all just computers as well, with internet access. Plus he has Playstation, Xbox one, bloody does my head in all this shit, Im more for getting outside and playing with the dog or gardening or walking, F..k Technology...

You know what, I think whatever works and gets u feeling calm again.  The last time I found Porn 7 years ago it was on the Playstation 3 access to the internet, so I have no doubt whats so ever that they will do and use whatever is at hand.  At that time when I did find it, his comment was why did I have to go looking!! Ummm maybe because you were not in the relationship and was treating me like I had the plague and perving madly at other women...

Anyway I am all for feeling safe in your relationship, we didn't ask for this crap, so I think whatever it TAKES !!! 

I do feel better about things but still have my moments as Ive said, he is not forthcoming on much at all which annoys me but Im a glass half full sort of person and Im still living in hope he will confide in me one day  ::) ::)

You can put parental controls on the xbox, they come with them on there ready to use. I've set mine for the kids, of course the other option is to disable it from the internet altogether and not have it connected.

I don't want to talk too much on here about what I do to keep track of things as my hubby is on here and I don't want to inform him, but if you want to ask any questions I'm happy to talk via PM.
