How can i block web pages (BEBO)

you could always subscribe to the free OpenDNS. This handles all your DNS queries, so you can block access to any site you like, and you can set the DNS server address on your router to go via OpenDNS rather than the one assigned by your isp.Never Knowingly Understood.

I remember editing the code on the school computers (Back in the BBC micro days) when i was about 11.. trust me, a kid will find a way
Ideally, change the DNS on your router to an openDNS account, then block whatever you want on that account. Password protect your router.
If your kid gets round that, well, i'd congratulate them for their ingenuity0 -
Id have to disagree. Most kids 13 and over these days know about proxies etc
As a general average, im pretty sure most teenagers know FAR more about computers than their parents
Any 13 year old whose interested in computers would not be on Bebo though ha. That's like saying me going for an Apple product!

There's nothing wrong with Apple products. My son has an iMac and he has never had any problems with it.Never Knowingly Understood.

I have to agree, anyone with a real interest in computers would find sites like that to be annoyingly "user friendly" and "simple".“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Thats fairly easy to bypass if you don't restrict the local network settings on the computer.ringo_24601 wrote: »Ideally, change the DNS on your router to an openDNS account, then block whatever you want on that account. Password protect your router.

Quite true, you could just set the local DNS up..gaming_guy wrote: »Thats fairly easy to bypass if you don't restrict the local network settings on the computer.
I do agree, any child using Bebo isn't geeky enough to know how to get around most kiddy protection0
