Free FamilyShield filtering from OpenDNS
Posted on July 11, 2010, under Security, Web Dev/Tech.
I have been using the OpenDNS domain filtering in my house for over a year, and have been very happy with the service. They have made it even easier to use for households looking to protect kids, by rolling out FamilyShield filtering. Without even needing to sign up for an account, you can use their service for free to block the following categories of web sites:
- Pornography
- Phishing
- Malware
- Proxy and anonymizer (for the “street smart” kiddos)
You can easily set up the service by following the walk-through instructions on configuring your router or computer’s DNS servers.
