Nice man!
I wish them all the best!
And you of course. :)

Just one question...I gotta ask...
If your son is 19...WHY would he not be allowed to watch that type of content?
I mean...he is 19...not 9...lol.
I am confused. :eek:
I am not saying he should like it.I don't watch that crap either.
I am just curious lol.

But anyway all the best to you and your children!

This should have been in pm's instead of this thread, but this was like 4-5 years ago.
 
You can try everything what everyone else already suggested and you can also do the following:

First of all I would put a password on your administrator account which only you will know.
After that I would create a new password free acount just for kids and in the settings of that kids account I would disable them from changing ANY settings anywhere and disable them from installing ANY extra software such as other web browsers.
I would just put the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop so they can surf the WEB if they want to plus few other programs they want/like to use including some games...
Then in the settings of the Internet Explorer I would configure Content Advisor.Content Advisor is a tool for controlling the types of content that your computer can access on the internet.After you turn on Content Advisor,only rated content that meets or exceeds your criteria can be viewed.You can adjust the settings to suit your preferences.
With it you can also:

-View and adjust the ratings settings to restrict or allow content in each of the following categories: language,nudity,sex and violence.

-Create a list of websites that should always be blocked regardless of how their content is rated.

-Create a list of websites that can always be viewed regardless of how their content is rated.

-View and change the ratings systems Content Advisor uses.

This is how it looks like in older Internet Explorer versions:

And this is how it looks like in newer Internet Explorer versions:

You can also set a password on your router so that your kids cannot access it and change any settings their also.

Of course you can also always use programs like Deep Freeze so that the way you adjusted things are always the same on the next computer reboot/restart.

So if you REALLY want your kids to not be able to view porn content then I would do what others suggested plus what I told you.





Cheers!

Thank you :)

All you need to do is point your DNS server on the client or router to their IP's, and use their free or paid subscription to content filter. It would be useful if you have lots of devices you want to filter.

do you recommend me any specific router to buy? Preferably with blocking URL list and time table features! My ISP gave me this crappy router and I can't change many things
 
I once made a small utility which would immediately terminate Internet explorer as soon as once of this kind of words were typed:

-sex
-porn
-gay
-lesbian
-**** (you know what I mean)
-shemale

-and a lot more...

I don't think I have it anymore.That was back in 2008.
I can make one in a few days of work if the original poster would like to.

thanks a lot my friend, but I already installed K9 Web Protection and till now it seems to work fine :)
 
This is a pretty good router here. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320091

I wouldn't try installing DD-WRT to it because it's a process and you can easly brick your router if you do it wrong, i.e not for the inexperienced. You don't need DD-WRT to run OpenDNS. Just make sure that if you buy this router you update the firmware to the latest as there is a hacker flaw.

Go to OpenDNS and create an account then chose the sites you want blocked. Here's what the OpenDNS block page looks like.

Just enter the two DNS servers in your router's DNS settings to push all content blocking across all computers on the network. The two main server IP addresses are:


  • 208.67.222.222
  • 208.67.220.220

thank you so much

just another question. Is this a paid or free version? If it's paid, what is the difference in openDNS between both of them?
Thank you

OpenDNS does offer paid versions, but that is more for schools and businesses. The free version is for personal home use and that is what I use.
