Jaded and wondering whether to give up

I've been trying to quit for I don't even know how long, 10 years maybe? My longest streak was a month, and that was around 3/4 years ago. I have a frankly ridiculous level of blocks and safeguards on my laptop and phone, yet I still manage to find porn every week or two. Getting around my safeguards and blocks has honestly become part of the process for me, like I've set myself a challenge to beat.

At this point I'm not even upset with myself, just becoming resigned that maybe this simply isn't possible for me. Is it still worth trying to quit? Should I try a different approach, like scheduling a window when I can access porn? Do I need to give up on blocks and try a mindset/psychological change? Any words of advice or encouragement are welcome and appreciated.
