To top it off your son is probably more tech savvy than your giving him credit. The only technical solution I found effective was to grant access to ONLY the websites you want him to be able to access via a router configuration. For instance if he has a computer in his room configure the router to allow access to ONLY Netflix and YouTube and whatever else you see fit. As an example of the battle you're facing go to Google image search and type something like "shaved pussy" and see what you get for results. The most common sense approach is what was mentioned above and keep internet access in a family room. It's a new age man. Trying to keep a young boy from looking at nude girls with such easy internet access is sticking your fingers in the dam to prevent leaks. Accept it's going to happen while teaching moral responsibility. This is an IT savvy person's opinion. Not a fathers just for the record.

Well, like I said. Once he is consciously choosing to look at stuff, I don't have any illusions that he'll find ways to access. My bigger concern is him stumbling on shit that he shouldn't by wormholing on youtube. That is, "Oh hey! I'm looking at this minecraft video and this other little video preview over the right looks cool..." then click and he's watching something in appropriate.
