In a recent article, I introduced OpenDNS as a free service that is out to make your Internet safer, faster, and smarter. OpenDNS has many notable features, and the one focused on in this article is Adult Site Blocking.
Easily Block Adult Websites on Your Network
Whether using OpenDNS at home or in an office environment, and adult site blocking is needed, OpenDNS’ Adult Site Blocking feature is an excellent choice. It is easy to get started and implement, and as an optional feature it certainly does not skimp on functionality.
After turning Adult Site Blocking on you are able to customize settings and rules to block adult sites. They offer different “levels” or categories of blocking, ranging from lingerie/bikini to pornography. You pick the level of granularity you want to block. You can also customize the message and logo seen seen upon visiting a blocked site.
No Software or Hardware
One of the major advantages to using this service is that there is no software or hardware needed to install. The easy to use web interface is all that is needed.
All in An Hours Work
The time you spend setting this up, when needed, is minimal and you can instantly start seeing the results. For the curious, if you have Statistics turned on, you can view the latest activity and see what has been blocked.
I’d recommend this service to anyone looking for a free, reliable, and simple way to implement adult site blocking for your home, office, or organization.
