<div>What do you use for filtering your home internet for

<div>There is BT Parental Controls if you're using infinity

You've not had a lot of answers, but can I suggest investigating the
problem a bit further.<br>
What does BT filter? Researching it shows that it i domain based.
That at least is better than local councils who in the web filtering
for librariesand their email systems use a very stupid word based
system.<br>
<br>
However, BT's filter is made by another company and therein may lie
a problem. A lot of these things are driven by American bigots who
want their children protected from all sorts of harmless things,
Evolution is one of those so just about any decent and harmless
biology site is going to be off limits. If you have any doubts about
this check any American forum. I am currently receiving postings
from young earth creationists, racists, homophobes and genocide
deniers.<br>
<br>
Those of you who have been members of the local Linux User Group
will remember Rhys Sage AKA "Secret Agent Sage" who went off to
America and managed to <br>
find one of these rednecks willing to marry him. He caused an uproar
on that list by posting bigoted stuff which is only too common in
the USA.<br>
So before getting any filtering system I would actually find if it
is tailored to British values not the those of the American Kristian
Koalition Klan.<br>
<br>
Then there is the problem that any intelligent child can bypass the
filters anyway with the likes of Tor etc.</div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><br>
