All ISP's must re-invent the same wheel. For an exhaustive list show all Layer7 protocols. If the protocol can send binary, then it can send porn. If the protocol can send text, then it can send base64 encoded porn. They're saying internet while thinking of the web, but even that is not easy to monitor from the network side. Install the best porn blocking network appliance in the world and then open a VPN connection to see it completely circumvented. If you install something on the endpoint rather than the network, then the user has access to tamper with it. Kids are clever, they have free time, and they have motive. Once one figures out how to bypass your blocking he'll show his buddies and then then porn is back on. ------ Original Message ------ From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: 2/6/2018 11:09:24 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] blocking The proposed solution is that any ISP over 500 customers has to provide some kind of blocking technology to prevent harm to minors. And it cannot be a 3rd party solution. I want to come up with an exhaustive list of all the potential ways minors can select harmful things on the internet. There is more than just web pages out there.

If you are talking about that style of blocking then as ISP we fight this as it is not the ISP job to block. If someone wants to block this type of content when the parent should be in change of installing blocking software and picking what should be blocked.

It is one thing to block web traffic, but how about netflix or twitter or skype or...... I want to play defense here and force the lawmakers to define exactly what we need to block. So can you guys help me develop a list of all the things we would have to analyze and block if we were going to attempt to create a true device that protects kids. -- Zach Underwood (RHCE,RHCSA,RHCT,UACA) My website advance-networking.com
