Website Blocking Software

[Gond]

Anyone know of a good app to block websites? I need one that I can block everything except a list of allowed. My router does the opposite. A router suggestion that does this would be great too.

 

I can write my own but that just requires work on my part

Hehe this reminds me of a product I saw at best buy. I think it was called traffic cop or something. It was hilarious because basically all it amounted to was a device that you plugged your ether net connection into and it had a switch to turn it off and on. Soooo lame. Might as well pull the plug and save yourself $20-$30.

 

Back to the subject at hand.

 

It has been my experience that these programs do little or nothing (unless its the router doing the blocking).

When I was young my parents used Surf Watch. I disabled the program in a matter of days by deleting the files in DOS (do you remember DOS), this was back in windows 95

 

Long story sort. I would go the hardware route. Pass on the software.

Here is what I do.

 

Enable IE's website rating system and set it on highest. Since no one registers with the safety rating your browser is basically disabled.

 

Then go to the websites you want to allow and allow the website 'everytime'.

 

Works for me.

Good idea Rev...thanks...and thanks to the rest but Rev's idea sounds really quick and ... paid for:)

 

Since she is only 7 I doubt I have to worry about things being disabled at this point. Gives me time to setup a linux server with a proxy on it:)
