Content Filtering Software List

What is Internet Content Filtering?

What if you could block Internet content for your children based on their maturity level? What if you could block porn completely without being forced to use a filter that treats you like a kid?

Internet content filters looks at all websites visited in real time and rates them based on age-appropriateness.  Parents can easily adjust the Filter’s sensitivity as their kids grow older, meaning the Filter grows with them.
