Previously I had commented on blocking sites with the hosts file and I provided a video on how to block individual sites. Now I have created a much more advanced blocking technique where you can block entire content topics like adult, or nudity, or social networking, sports, blogging. It is also much more secure and harder to hack if you follow the instructions carefully. Please view the video here.

The instructions above do work very well for the non techie. But even a non techie can google a couple terms and figure out how to reverse the changes. Its probably best to have multiple logins to your machine and ensure the parent’s login is the one with admin rights. Without it you cannot change the host file back. If you find the instructions above hard to follow you can watch a point and click instruction video I made on how to complete them. It can be found here.

It’s very basic. I’ll soon be adding instructions for the user rights as well.

Thanks

@ Val,

It is a local issue which you need to clear with the administrator. I feel its just a misunderstanding which resulted in blockage. My website was blocked by Open DNS and it could be sorted out within one day. You may be interested in reading my story:

I see that there are a couple people trying to block my website from their “wi-fi hot spot” for campers camping at Eagle Lake for “inappropriate content”. This is a fishing report site not pornography. What reprocussions are there for fraudulent blocking under false pretences? Just wondering.
Thank you,

@ Deepak,

Nice observation… may be one should consider blocking both www and non www versions of all sites. Best is to use OpenDNS and filter the entire category of inappropriate websites.
