Stoppin a 15 year old from viewing porn

[Richard Laymon]

Is there a way to stop a 15 year old boy from looking at porn pages on the web. It can be done via I.E. using the Content Advisor but that is a major pain in the butt allowing and disallowing every page/site. This can also be thwarted by simply downloading another browser.
So basically I need a foolproof (yet free) way of stopping him.
Any ideas ?

I was 15 once... **** I was 10 once. We had AOL back then. The security measures on AOL are much easier to use than RR because of the user settings. I found ways to find porn sites on that. When we finally got RR, all I could say was "This is a good day". Unless there's some special program out there used to block porn sites, I think your outta luck on this one.

Check Google for "internet filter", "innapropriate filter", or "porn filter".

There are programs out there that filter out anything inappropriate, by searching keywords of the site before you looking at it, but cost roughly $30 each.

One word... Impossible.
Why do you want to stop him anyway?

Can I take it from your post that your under 18 or a bob short of two-shilling upstairs ?

The internet blocker will not block other languages though.

How about a good talk or failing that monitoring your sons usage of the internet.

Talk to a 15 year old slob and expect results, hmmm me thinks not. As for other languages, he can only just grasp English

He may only understand English, but porn images are universal.

Outside of software filters (which are not fool-proof or perfect), you can switch your ISP to a filtered service, or you can only allow him internet access when a parent/adult is there to watch him.

Or you could just monitor his usage and, if he looks at any, cut off his access... either for a week or two, or permanently.
