Is your Family Proctected?



The internet is a whoreish place. For real. I'm on twitter and I linked over to a random topic and the icon of one of the people's tweets was all trashy boobs. Whoreish.

I had my friend's computer guru husband recommend a blocker for my internet. And this is what he gave me:

Open DNS

I set it up a while back. I have to say that it is pretty confusing for anyone who is not computer savvy. He had to help me a bit. But I love it. I set the privacy controls specifically. I have mine set on High blocking content, but have allowed photobucket, and specifically said no You Tube. I think YouTube scares me most of all because it can be fun, and then turn whoreish in two seconds. So if figured we don't really need to watch youtube.

Anyhow, if you want a simpler version, they came out with one:

Family Shield

I set up the account for my computer. I am the only one in the family with the password.

The great part is that when you test it, you don't have to type in some sort of pornographic term. You can use "exampleadultsite.com"

When I type that in I get this:



So it makes me feel better to have this on.

So do it, set it up. It's FREE!

They have a phone number, so if you need help--I'm sure they probably will help you set it up.

To any of my friends who are local, I am more than happy to come to your house and show you how to do this.

Halt the Whoreishness
