Although it is essential for many things, we cannot always trust the content that is uploaded to the Internet. On some occasions it may be necessary to block web pages, for example if we want to keep our children away from those publications that we consider inappropriate for their age. These are the ways you can prevent access to these sites.
How to block web pages
With monitoring software
There are several programs developed to make it easy to set up Internet access and what each member of the family can see. Qustodio is one of the most popular parental control apps out there, but there are many others that you can trust. It will depend on what features you value, and how much you are willing to pay for them, but they are an efficient solution.
These softwares act in a very similar way. They are installed in the mobile of the father or mother, and in each of the other computers. From the guardian’s phone you can control which Internet sites the family members access, and block web pages.
With a specific blocker
OpenDNS is a specific tool that works on home networks or connections, blocking numerous web pages. When a site is deemed inappropriate, it becomes inaccessible on all devices in the house. It is ideal if you have several teams.
With Windows Child Protection
Microsoft’s PC operating system is the most popular. Among your options, we have an effective child protection system. Of course, you have to install the Child Protection or Family Safety filter. Once it’s installed, you’ll need to customize a few things, and when you’re done, you’ll have peace of mind that kids using the PC won’t see anything amiss.
Editing the hosts file
Editing the hosts file in Windows is another alternative that you should consider. These files make it easy to temporarily block web pages, such as sexual or violent ones. You will not get data or additional information, but it is enough to rest every night without being aware of the little ones. Now, what are the steps to edit hosts files?
You have to enter C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and double click on it. Use Notepad to open this file. With your cursor positioned at the end of the document, leave a blank line between your starting point and the ending point of the existing text. Immediately, type “127.0.0.1 + web page to block”. In just seconds, that site will be inaccessible.
