The best way to protect your kids is to talk to them. Frequently. And be interested in their life.

The only 24/7/365 guardian your kid has is your kid: just train the guardian and prepare him for the actual and complete reality.

To get back on the topic, a few categories like pornography, gambling, grotesque and alike, together with search engines safe search, should do. Set the filtering on your router and without exceptions, such categories should not be an issue if they're blocked for anyone and everyone.

PS Everyone makes mistakes, kids are no exception. When they eventually will, you'll want them as friends and partners, and want them to see you as such as well, ready and quite eager to seek out understanding, empathy and maybe good advices from you: the spying app/ tracker app will turn your kids in the opposite direction when they'll learn about such an app. And they'll definitely learn about it!

IMO :)

I'm don't trust any parental control apps on my child's phone because I tried many of them, and somehow my kids did break the app. After that case, I lost control and didn't know what they're doing on their devices. I read some articles that said that the best way to protect your kid is to put a tracker on their phone.

I understand you. This generation has grown up with a phone in hand and they have a lot to get around almost any obstacle. ::) I also searched for software for a long time that would control the time and traffic on my children's devices. I chosed this work time

I would use AdGuardHome and transparent Proxy with shalla list

Seconded with respect to AdGuard Home. Awesome piece of software.

Also take a look at NextDNS. I have been very happy with it for Ad Blocking by just forwarding from Unbound using DoT and ensuring users can't bypass it easily.

Have you tried / seen zenarmor (sensei) ?
You can make multiple policies and with fixed ip for the kids you can make custom (ad) blocking as apps as time limits etc.
