Mozillia filters

#21 Post by vito »

Thanks for this suggestion ttuuxxx . I wanted to give my sons the simplicity linux netbook edition (90meg) on a flashdrive to use for school papers but I could not figure out how to add a pornblocker, since dansguardian is a little tricky and takes up precious memory.

Also another firefox add on that works nicely together with procon latte is Foxfilter.

Mny Thx,
Vito

Some routers (if you use one) have the ability to do content filtering...setup through its admin.....eg games will block any site with games in the address etc

I have used Glubble....a firefox addon, for adding parental controls.

http://www.glubble.com/

It has a preloaded list of "allowed" sites such as the discovery channel/homework sites etc which no-one would really object their kids looking at (unless they were religious fundamentalists/creationists/flat earthers/Amish) Every new site the child tries to access, is denied and the url sent to the parent account for him/her to pre-read and either approve or deny access to for the child.

This is good because the Parents can judge, according to their standards, what is suitable for their child to see, based on their own moral values and/or the childs "mental age". This is much better than censoring the whole internet!

Yahooligans is a good search engine for kids

Dansguardian is a pain to set up, a preconfigured package would great to set up. We used a Dansguardian mod on Smoothwall at the cybercafe I ran, and it was VERY effective at filtering there, and practically unhackable as the filtering was done before the connection got to the puppy machine. We will be using the same at the mission cybercafe (all those sailors coming off long voyages etc etc :roll: )

@ Ttuuxxx

Perhaps you could write a patch that would mean the keylogger above would not work in puppy?

Its an important thread because a lot of people want parental controls. Old computers that puppy flys on are often given as hand-me-downs for children.

If this thread gets deleted (which wouldnt hurt), I will repost this information in a new one.

Is there a free app like ProCon Latte that works in Seamonkey?

I only see Firefox referenced and while they share base-code not everything is cross-compatible.
