I also tested a very good product from BlueCoat called : K9 I think you have to give it a try : http://www1.k9webprotection.com/

Here’s a second to K9 Web Protection. We use it on all the computers in our home and it can be password protected so that the little ones (and not so little ones…lol) can’t bypass it. Doesn’t work when booting from LiveCD’s though.

We are living in an unprecedented social experiment.

Never so much technology has been available to everyone.
From a very young age, children start with a computer connected to the Internet then graduate very quickly in the name of parent security with mobile phones, they are the new generation of connected kids.
For these kids social interactivity is happening through emails, SMS and of course what it is called “Social” sites with the likes of Facebook and others.

Alexander,
Given the fact that you are here i would like to say Glubble is fantastic. I always look for ways for my daughters to surf the web and be safe and your product does that. I do like getting new ideas for items but nothing (so far to be fair) meets what glubble offers. We have even got a few other families using it now. Thanks!

Joel,

Glubble for families is a Firefox addon that lets parents support their children discover the web and social networking without getting them into potential harmful situations.

In our experience parents should not focus on closing the entire computer down, instead it is much better to teach children responsible behavior from early ages on. Glubble provides families the tools to do just that (plus a whole lot more family activities).

@Chris. We have always chosen specifically for Firefox as it simply is the fastest and safest web browser there is. A perfect fit for our goal to protect and support families on the web.

Bets regards,

Alexander

Don’t underestimate the innovation of a persistent young boy in search for porn. Browser plugins or local services are no match. This will work when they are young…but when they are young teenagers they know as well as we do how to find ways around stuff…you Google it…There’s just countless ways around something installed locally. A separate browser can run from a USB drive…Ever herd of a live Linux CD like Knoppix? Most know how to just re-install Windows…etc.

Also, keep in mind we have so many ways’ to access the Internet..PS3, Wii, etc

Chuck hit the nail on the head. You have to move the filter to a device they physically can’t access.

Chuck i would agree with you up until 5 months ago when i discovered glubble. AS far as i know it works as a plugin for firefox but i hear they were doing something for IE.
I will look at the 2 listed here (thanks) and even look into your idea also Chuck.
thanks

You might consider opendns, because it is set up on your router and doesn’t run on a computer. Anything that runs on a computer can be disabled by the user, so if you have a knowledgable teenager in your house anything you put on can and will be defeated.
