Blocking Websites - What Can I Use?

Client Tip: There are a couple of different options when it comes to blocking websites.

First, if you are using Internet Explorer as your browser, you can use its Content Browser. To do this click on Tools, then Internet Options. Now, click on the Content so that is the active tab. Here you will find a button that says "Enable". When you click this button you are brought to a new window with a new set of tabs. Click on the tab that says Approved Sites. Here you can supply websites and set the to "Always" viewable or "Never" viewable.

Another option is to use software that will allow you to block websites. This is basically done in the same fashion as the Content Advisor, by adding website address to the program and specifying whether or not they are allowed to be viewable.

Routers, which are networking devices can also provide you with an option to block websites as well.

Taking a nonchalant approach to blocking websites these days if you have small families using the Internet is not a wise decision. There are far too many websites containing adult images and information that are accessible to anyone. If you feel you do not have the ability or knowledge to do this affectively then seek advice or help from someone who can.
