Both openDNS and K-9 are great and I have been using them for several months.
However, I have also looked at the paid/subscription software and haven't found one that allows for restricting the internet to a few sites based on the hour of the day. It would be great if there is a product that would allow facebook/games/etc for certain hours of the day and leave internet connectivity open for other sites for homework/school research for the rest of the day. For facebook, my rule is simple.. You are allowed to use facebook if I know the password. You lose access the day you change the password and don't let me know about it... Has worked great so far _______________________________________________ Suhail -----Original Message----- From: Roger Wright [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 28 March, 2011 17:14 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT - Parental Controls Let us know what you end of doing for your friend.
