No DoH support? The browser seems like the source of distractions.
Thank you for the idea, I've created an issue: https://github.com/berbyte/sinkzone/issues/1

#32I see it has a Windows installer. I might have to try that on my old Win7 Pro system.
I will likely move on to Win10 now that it is ending support later this year so I might try there too. Windows support is best consumed in small chunks so once they deep-six Win10 it will be ready for consumption since the only "updates" it is likely to get are those strictly related to protecting it from malware.
Years ago there was a software firewall called SyGate that allowed a user to block everything and then set allow rules as they needed so that the only applications that could get out were those explicitly allowed by the user. The internet was young and there were fewer bad actors so it was way ahead of its time on the consumer side. You could install the free version or pay for a premium version. It was bought out in the late 90's I think by Norton or one of those other big units (Symantec?) who used all the good parts in their own "improved" firewalls, for a lot of money though.
I like this idea of blocking everything except the things you know you need.

What does DoH mean?

For application level firewalling like you describe I use:

#38This sounds awesome - I wish I could run it on my iphone, because otherwise it's not even gonna put a dent in my infinite capacity for slacking off....
Run Tailscale/Wireguard on your iPhone, back to your RPi at home. Use your RPi as your DNS server. Something, something, profit.

While we're throwing out recommendations for Windows software firewalls, I've previously used and liked Portmaster. Nice UI and its open source

#40Interesting approach... Initially I thought it was bit overkill but I found myself picking my phone when I have a site blocked on my laptop. Happen more than I'm willing to admit, so I guess I will give a try
nextdns lets you set times when domains are blocked. Originally I had it just for my computer but soon realized I needed it for my phone as well.
