Protect Your Children Online: Filter Access To The Internet

Updated on March 13, 2023: From now on, traffic filtering, malware protection, and suspicious DNS activity blocking are available as a part of the separate DNS Firewall app.

Do you know what kind of content your children are watching online? In case you are not able to constantly supervise their web activities then the answer is most probably “No”, especially in the view of the fact the internet is a volatile space that one cannot control. But are there any ways to protect your kids from unsuitable and adverse web content?

As the first step, you can talk to them about what they’re interested in, and explain that the internet does not necessarily provide a realistic take on certain subjects. Educate them about increasing online danger that poses a threat for their privacy, as even simple downloading of an app can lead to the leakage of the personal data like passwords, social network communications or even parents’ credit card details.

We bet you’ve already discussed these issues with your children, and asked them not to follow suspicious links, and not to share sensitive information with strangers. However, this approach is good for younger children, if they are in their teens… Try to recall yourself in your 13.

Network filters are the smart supplement to the parenting skills

Then the second step comes to a rescue – a technological “baby-sitter”. There are countless programs that are able to filter unsuitable content, and prevent children from exploring websites that are involved with adult content, including online gambling, delinquency and others of a like nature. Network filters are the solution for a safe internet experience of your children, and the warranty that they won’t be distracted from studying.

But what if you need to access the very web content you’ve just blocked for your children? For instance, you may want to read breaking news from The New York Times, talk to your friends on Facebook, tweet your updates, or simply take in a quick film on YouTube. It turns out that you need to sacrifice your wishes. Or… if you are more tech-savvy, you may start to look for a way around these blocks.
