April 17, 2010 Show Notes (PodcastIT011):
"How do I prevent my kids or employees from seeing things on the
internet that I don't want them to see?"
There are several software solutions that are available to you as a
parent or business owner to block unwanted internet sites. You can
do an internet search to see the multitude of lists of these sites
that sell the software solutions (caution: make sure that you only
click on the MYWOT approved sites as mentioned in the Better Systems
Podcast, Episode 3).
Some of these software will give you full control of the type of
sites that will be blocked and some will also send you regular
emails so you can see what sites your children or employees have
been visiting. Some software will also let you whitelist sites that
are blocked, but you deem OK to view. Blacklisting sites is also an
option for those sites that make it through their filter. Some
programs costs are on a per computer basis, while others are priced
for more than one, but are limited to the actual amount: for
example, 3 computers.
Better System Tech Tips: One site that we use at Houston Outsource
actually changes the way your router works to perform this needed
function. It can be found at www.OpenDNS.org. The free version has a
way to do most, if not all, of the things I just mentioned. You have
control over what type of sites can be seen and what types can be
blocked. Instead of your computer going directly to your host ISP to
look for the websites, you can change it to go to the OpenDNS site.
Since they monitor the sites, you can almost rest assured that what
you configure to be blocked will stay that way for your protection.
