how do you block unwanted websites from your your children?
475153
There are many different programs to block unwanted websites out on the internet. Within Internet Browsers such as Internet Explorer & Firefox, there are ways to set ratings to control what sites are accessible and if adults still wish to access them, they can enter a password. This ratings are locating under Internet Options in Internet Explorer or Options in Firefox. AOL also has parental blocking software but I'm not familiar with it, I'm sure it works the same way.

It would be helpful to know what site your going to. Also is there a program on your computer that is installed to block you from going to these sites?

Consider parental control software. e.g. CyberPatrol, Net Nanny. I use McAfee's Internet Security Suite.

They probably have a policy to stop children from doing things on the net... Many educational facilities and work places block certain URL's... Nothing you can do, unless you find another proxy server...

GroupPolicy is regedit but easier.\n\nUsing regedit to block sites, the key would be here:\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;Software&#92;\nMicrosoft&#92;Windows&#92;\nCurrentVersion&#92;Internet Settings&#92;\nP3P&#92;History&#92;BlockedWebsite.com\n\n(seperated lines because yahoo replaces it with '...')\n\nThe problem is the default value needs to be DWORD, but it's always REG_SZ which you wont be able to change..\nBut you can delete blocked websites like that..\n\nWhy couldn't you just block them in IE settings?\nTools > Internet Options... > 'Privacy' tab > 'Edit' button.\n\nFlux.

If you're looking to keep yourself or others on your network from going to sites at different hours your best bet is to use a firewall.  A Linksys router's interface, for instance, includes a section called Access Restriction where you can block by website address, including certain times of the day or days of the week.  I have also heard of a new software on the market for parents to control their children's online time, but I hear reports of computer-savvy kids being able to work their way around it.  If you do use a firewall already, check what its settings let you do and make sure you have set a secure password on it which your children would not be able to guess.

Block all Yahoo?   Now you are being silly. \n\nBut go to the Control Panel, and pick ADD/REMOVE programs.  Then UNINSTALL the Yahoo Messenger. \n\nTell your daughter that she WILL NOT USE any IM program.  She WILL NOT install another copy.   Check your computer regularly to ensure that she has not installed another.  \n\nYes, you can BLOCK her from this, but the real lesson is to TEACH her the rules, then ensure that she follows them.\n\nKids Get Net Wise\nGreat information about Internet Safety\nhttp://kids.getnetwise.org/

you need to install some type of parental control software.  net nanny is excellent.  i know yahoo dsl subscribers and road runner subscribers have parental control software for free as part of their subscriptions.\n\nif they are younger kids parental control is the way to go because it is preventative.  for my older one, i use monitor software instead... more trust, but the ability to see everything they do/type/see etc so i can discuss with them if need be.

I would set myself up as the administrator and password protect it. Set everyone you want to control their access as limited users. This can be done through the control panel. You can put sites in the restricted zone and deny him access to change or delete them.\n\nThen buy a good Parental Control program and set it up.\n\nYou can also buy a Keylogger program and install it. It will give you a report of every key your child types. This way you will know if he is going to sites that tell him how to bypass your controls.

Depending on the browser you use, most all of them have security settings where you can set what can be viewed on your computer. Additionally, you can make global changes to your childs login profile on your computer which will control what programs that they can have access to and whatnot. Start with the sites below..\n\nDon't download any 'Toolbars' from the net, you're going to wind up with a bunch of spyware on your computer if you do. Use the settings in your computer's browser and operating system. Stay away from the toolbars!

to block all the websites you have to block port no 80 on your computer through which connection to most of the websites are made. you can do this by blocking these ports with Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) or if you have windows xp service pack 2 then through windows firewall.\nyou can also enable the internet content advison and set it to the highest level then it will block almost all the websites.

This program is great for blocking sites that you don't want your children to see. You can put a seperate identity for each family member (if you have kids with different ages) AND you CAN put time limits on when they can use the internet. It does cost money, but it is well worth it.  It's called Content Protect. Here's the site:\n\n http://www.hermanstreet.com/store/index.html
