Stacey,
LDS values concerning internet safety is a great thread for LDSOSS. The
question is ... Is there any open source filtering software?
There are great non-technical answers in the February 2000 New Era Q&A.

This is most likely way off topic but I don't know of a better forum to post
something like this. If you think this is way off topic then just email me
directly ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). I''ll repent and take this subject off-line with
who
ever would like to chat about it.
I have been asked to give a fireside talk to educate parents on what they
should know about the Internet and how to protect their children. I am sure
this group has lots of good ideas, web links, and maybe even a presentation they
gave on a similar subject they would like to share. I would especially like to
hear about Windows based solutions and ideas because for me and my house, we run
Macs. In fact, I have been pretty much Windows free for about 7 years. I do
use Parallels Desktop for the Mac to run PAF (since it only comes in the Windows
flavor).
I would especially like to hear about:
* Inexpensive software solutions for parental control and content filtering.
FYI, for the Mac I personally recommend Mac Minder
(http://www.lumacode.com/macminder/) for general parental control.
>From what I understand, all the parental control features of Mac Minder will
be included with the next release of Mac OS X. For content filtering I have
used Content Barrier from Intego (http://www.intego.com/contentbarrier/) but
mainly rely on DansGuardian running on my BSD-based firewall. Of course,
installing and configuring DansGuardian is beyond the capibility of the average
parent.
* Configuration options in Windows for parental control. From what I
understand Microsoft has added some parental control features to their new OS,
similar to what Mac OS X has now.
* Ideas for keeping your kids and teens "safe" on the Internet.
* Talks given on this subject especially those from LDS sources.
* If your ward or stake has given firesides or talks about this subject. What
did they talk about?
* Experiences with consumer (home) products such as routers or gateways that
include content filtering.
* Web links to sites that have good ideas for the average parent.
Thanks in advance,
-stacey.
