Apps for Parental Internet Control

Providing kids with access to the Internet can be a double-edged sword. Parents want their children to be educated and socialized, and the Internet is one of the best tools of the modern age for accomplishing that. However, parents also don't want to worry about a cyber predator stalking their children, or about their children spending all of their homework time playing web games. Fortunately for the modern parent, there are several web control applications that enable them exercise a significant amount of control over what their children can and cannot do on the Internet.

K9 Web Protection

K9, named after a guard dog's designation, is designed to help parents control the Internet that their children may access. This system enables parents set up an access management system to set up a list of blocked sites, and has a very customized menu of options for what to do when the sites are accessed. For a more gentle reproach, a parent can choose to simply hear a small noise whenever someone tries to access a blocked site. This can be a good option for a gentle talk between parent and child regarding what kind of sites are appropriate to look at during certain times. There are also harsher methods; if a user attempts to access a blocked site repeatedly, the Internet can be programmed to shut off for a predetermined period of time with this type of access management system.

Family Cyber Alert

Family Cyber Alert is a complete web control system for the parent who has no time to waste on gentle alerts. This enables the application to record every single keystroke made on the computer, every website visited, and every file downloaded. Unless the user has the passkey to the license, it is impossible to erase search histories carried out under Family Cyber Alert, which makes it a great plan for anyone who is genuinely worried that there is already a threat looming around the children in the home. Otherwise, many families may find the complete surveillance of Family Cyber Alert to be somewhat invasive.

CyberControl Parental Controls

CyberControl Parental Controls is a nice access management system for parents that want to ban many sorts of sites from their children's view. One nice feature is that you have the ability to set different levels of controls for different users in the house; for example, you can give your teenagers one level of access, while giving your elementary-aged children a much lower level of access.
