children using the internet

I want to block and filter content on the Internet for my children.
What software are you using and would you recommend it.
Any advice would be welcome.

    Hi Hythers,

    I have moved your thread over to the techie board, where hopefully you will get more replies.

    Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [email="andrea@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/email].

    There are some links under Techie FAQ's re children & internet safety which might help.

    All of the links on that page end with the following message:
    The requested URL /cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi was not found on this server
    any ideas ?

    I've just checked the links about child security and they all work. I'll check the rest on the page too.

    Edit -

    I've removed some of the links - they linked to the old site and now don't work. Thanks for pointing it out.

  • You could always sign up for a BTYahoo PAYG account and use their parental control software and browser for free. It also allows you to contral email, limit time on internet etc. I believe you only have to dial in every now and then to keep the account active (though I only dial in once every 3 months or so). This will give you 1 main account and up to 4 sub accounts (which can be used for kids).
    You do not have to dial in using BT to use the software, browser and parental controls.
    To infinity and beyond!
  • Have a look for netnanny - http://www.netnanny.com/ they offer a free trial so you can see what it does.
