Software for restricting internet access. Such as NetNanny.

    Isn't there some feature in the browser for restricting access to adult websites? I remember seeing it before but can't seem to locate it. Anyone know where I can locate that feature?

    I think Net Nanny is possibly the most well known software for restricting website access. Are there any other programs available which are as effective?

    Is there any free software available for website restriction?

    If you're technically minded, you might like to dabble in setting up a proxy at home to block certain sites or only allow a handful to be visited. Squid is very popular for doing this.

    You can also change the browser's settings. What browser do you use: Internet Explorer, Firefox or something else?
