I use [www.opendns.com] for filtering/blocking sites. In addition to manual blocks (as you can set in your hosts file), OpenDNS also has an excellent, always-updated filtering system to block, for example, Adware, Parked Domains, Games, Religious, etc.
Additionally, you can set OpenDNS on your router, so that all computers on your network benefit from it without additional configuration. Reply |
