Porn blocking Adblock subscription?

[hallucinojerk]

Is there that you know of block porn sites with Adblock Plus subscription? I mean all porn sites that you know of. I had this one computer that regularly used by one of the household member. I know he's watching porn by way of hiding the monitor screen from me. Since he's not around right now, is there a way to block porn site with Adblock subscription alone? I have tried using OpenDNS in my router but sometimes my wireless devices won't connect or there's a problem authenticating with the network so I decided to just use the default ISP configuration of my router. Help!

You could block individual sites by adding them to the host file

Yes, but that is a heck load of a job. There's a lot of porn site in the internet.

How to Filter Porn Web Sites on Your Computer

Google Safe SearchBing Safe SearchMicrosoft Family SafetyOpenDNSCommercial SoftwareWindows Hosts

Edited by Maluniu, Teresa, Peter, Theburn7 and 74 others

If you're on the internet—especially when doing searches on Bing or Google, you are likely going to encounter porn. You don't need to see that, and your kids certainly don't need to see that. We'll show you a few things you can do to stem the tide of smut, and enjoy a more humane Internet. Here's how:

EditMethod 1 of 6: Google Safe Search

1. 
   1
   Navigate to Google.com Search Settings. At the top, you'll see the SafeSearch filter. Put a check on the "Filter explicit results" to switch to SafeSearch.
   • Properly setting this will block pornographic images from your searches; even provocative searches, such as for the word "sex," will return images that may be suggestive, but no more so than you might find on network television.
2. 
   2
   Lock SafeSearch. A filter is good, but as any 12-year-old will (probably not) tell you, getting around a simple setting is far too easy. To provide a greater level of protection, you can lock your SafeSearch setting, so that it requires your login to change. From your Settings page, click on SafeSearch Lock, as shown:
   • You'll need to log in with your account and password, and SafeSearch will remain active until you turn it off. Furthermore, you can tell at a glance if it's active: large colored balls will appear in the top right of the screen as long as SafeSearch Lock is enabled.
     
3. 
   3
   Save your preferences. When you are done adjusting your SafeSearch settings, be sure to click the blue Save button at the bottom of the screen, or your prefs won't be saved.

EditMethod 2 of 6: Bing Safe Search

1. 1
   Navigate to Bing.com SafeSearch. At the top, you'll see the SafeSearch filter. By default, it's in the Moderate position. Click on the topmost radio button to enable strict filtering.
   • Unlike Google, setting strict filtering on Bing will block everything. For example, searching for the word "sex," Bing gives no results at all. This indicates that Bing is not filtering content of the results, but prohibiting the search completely. Depending on your own personal feelings, this may either be a good thing or a bad thing. Either way, there is a very clear difference between Bing searches and Google searches.
     
   • Note: Bing does not offer a way to lock strict filtering.
2. 2
   Save your preferences. When you are done adjusting your SafeSearch settings, be sure to click the blue Save button at the bottom of the screen, or your prefs won't be saved.

EditMethod 3 of 6: Microsoft Family Safety

1. 1
   Navigate to the Family Safety website. You can do this from any computer. Follow the steps and sign in.
   
2. 2
   Download the Family Safety Filter. This software must be installed on every computer you want to protect. It will monitor your kids using the safety settings you select.
3. 3
   See if Family Safety is already installed. It's pre-installed on some versions of Windows 7. To verify, click the Start button, then click All Programs, then Windows Live, and then if it's installed, Windows Live Family Safety.
   • If Family Safety isn't installed, go to the Windows Live Family Safety download page, and click Download. Follow the prompts to install Family Safety.
4. 4
   Sign in. Using your Windows LIve ID, sign in and assign the "primary parent," the person you want to administer the settings. You cannot change this setting in the future. If you don't have a Windows Live ID, you will need to sign up.
5. 5
   Select who you want to monitor. Click the check box next to the Windows account of each family member you want to monitor, then click Next or Save.
   • To monitor somebody not listed, you will need to create a new Windows account. Microsoft recommends that each person in a household have their own Windows account.
   • Disable guest accounts—kids will use that to get around the filters.
6. 6
   Match accounts. If this is the first time you've used Family Safety, skip this step.
   • If you already use Family Safety, match each Windows account to a name on the Family Safety members list. If a Windows account doesn't have a matching Family Safety name, click the option to add it.
   • When you're done, be sure to click the Save button.
7. 7
   Add passwords. If you don't have passwords for Windows administrator accounts or accounts you're not monitoring with Family Safety, you'll see the Add passwords screen. Click Add passwords.
8. 8
   Verify your setup. Click Next and you’ll see the Windows accounts that Family Safety is now monitoring on the computer.
   • It’s important that all of your Windows accounts have passwords. Without that, kids could log on to that account and bypass their Family Safety settings, get to websites you don’t want them to see, and you won't be able to see reports of their online activities.

EditMethod 4 of 6: OpenDNS

1. 1
   Sign up for OpenDNS. If you want to filter what can and cannot be seen on the Internet, you can use OpenDNS. Schools and government offices use it, and free options are available.
2. 2
   Create an account. Once your account is created, set your internet settings to use the OpenDNS IP addresses as your domain name servers. You will then be able to customize your filter preferences.
   

EditMethod 5 of 6: Commercial Software

1. 1
   Use a professional pornography filter. These can block unwanted websites and filter pornographic websites on your computer.
2. 2
   Install it from an administrator account. The administrator password is required to uninstall the filter or to change its configuration.
3. 3
   There are a number of such products. Most of the decent ones should have the following capabilities:
   • Works with any web browser: (IE, Safari, Firefox, Google Chrome).
   • Password protected, so that only an administrator can bypass the blocker.
   • Come with a built-in list of filtering criteria.
   • Have a whitelist to manually list sites that shouldn't be filtered.
   • If you have an Apple Mac OS X computer, make sure the filter you purchase is compatible with your version of the Mac OS.

EditMethod 6 of 6: Windows Hosts

1. 1
   Modify the windows hosts file
   • Locate your HOSTS file. The hosts file is located in different places depending on your Windows version.
   • For XP/VISTA/7 it is located in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC directory.
   • For 2000 it is located in the C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC folder, depending on the nature of your Windows install
   • To view the contents of this file, browse to the location of the file and double click on it. You will be asked whether you want to search the internet for a program to open the file or if you wish to choose from a list. Choose the list option and open the file with Notepad. You can now view all of the websites that are being blocked.
   • To manually block a site, go to the bottom of the file and on a new line type “127.0.0.1 siteyouwanttoblock.com” without using quotes. This will block siteyouwanttoblock.com. Repeat the process for any other sites you wish to block, and then save the file by going to File>Save.

Tips

• Understand that teenage curiosity about sex is entirely normal. Consider open discussions about sex and porn as alternative to making the subject taboo—that which is taboo often has a stronger attraction and fascination than that which is not.
• Another option that does not require setting any preferences is to use a website that enforces Google safesearch results, such as KidzSearch.com.

Warnings

• Most pornography filtering methods, including commercial software products that claim otherwise, can be evaded by someone who wants to see pornography badly enough, left unsupervised.

I found one here googling around. K9 Web Protection. Currently reading about this. I hope this is free.

Does the software make sound when blocking something? :angry:

AFAIK,

Subscription filters will only block the Ads on porn sites, could try free porn blockers K9 and STOP P-O-R-N 7.7 also try using

[Chancer]

Indeed - but the original question was to block porn site - not sites :-)

For my son, the computer had to be in a place where we could walk by and see what he was doing at any time. The monitor was totally exposed to the rest of the family so we were aware of what he was doing.....not just porn sites.

Just a thought.....I know it is not what you asked

[pintas]

Is there that you know of block porn sites....?

Nooooooooooo

I found one here and this was way back 2010.

Simply use Anti-Porn!

[calguyhunk]

The absolute best thing you can do is use Open DNS Family Shield. You may also look at Net Nanny, Safe Squid, K9 Web Protection, Forticlient etc. :)

Also, what robo said. That was what my Mom did when I first got a PC. She just installed it in the living room. Wasn't until I was 19 that I was allowed to get a 'personal' computer (laptop). :dance:

OpenDNS probably the best solution but my router that comes with my ISP don't like changing DNS servers. Say, I turn my laptop to sleep or hibernate mode and when I came back to use it it gives me authentication issues in my network. My smartphone acting like that as well, however, when I'm going to set it back to the default ISP DNS servers I never had an issue reconnecting with my wireless devices.

You can Google that and see what you get, but the worst case scenario is that you'll need to invest ~$20 for a new router if it's indeed a dodgy router that is to be blamed.

BTW, the software I recommended in the previous post are not really from anecdotal evidence. However, I can vouch for Open DNS - I've configured a lot of my cousins' PC's (teens and tweens) with it without them even knowing what hit 'em :P They keep complaining to me that "some websites" are not reachable. Only I know which ones, albeit I feign ignorance LOL! :P

It's for their own good, you see, so it's all good. It's just that they think I'm not really a good PC guy 'cuz I can't seem to solve their 'problem' like ever. :lmao:

yeah, i don't like the stand-alone software either.

my router has this option for dns relay under lan settings, when i'm going to disable it all of my devices won't work. but, if i go to under dhcp server, i can put opendns servers there and update, all of my devices will work. i've spent so many hours already figuring this stupid router and i think this can't be change with my own router because our phone line is connected to that router as well.

That then solves your problem or does it not? :dunno:

[hallucinojerk]

It solves but issues authenticating to connect to my network is another problem. My ISP don't like changing DNS server. I don't know what is the problem with this router.

I use, on one of my browsers, only ABP with default deny approach.

I globally allow stylesheets, and whitelist specific websites functionality such as background image and scripts.

This way you are by default protected from adds, tracking and any content you did not approve.

This is not for everyone since it expects from user to manually whitelist websites.

I also use privoxy and fiddler which can be more specifically adjust and configured easily to filter encrypted traffic as well.

With privoxy you filter specific phrases and based on the content perform website blocking (every adult website can, by content, be very easily identified),

also having in mind it can filter encrypted traffic (when content gets decrypted on your end) even VPN content will be filtered.

Using firewall such as OAP you can allow only specific apps to execute and specific apps to access internet - this way you are preventing users to install programs that will bypass this protection. You can also by using local policy (AppLocker/SRP) manage what can and can not be executed.

Create LUA in order to limit users capabilities.

Using filters, DNS and host list is highly inefficient and for me differs the purpose of comprehensive security.

If this is too much for you then as tezza mentioned you can try K9 it's free and very efficient.
