not stop her from seeing sites, but stop her from GOING to sites...

she's got these forums she goes to, and she thinks they're all her "friends" and she gives them her address and phone number and such, and most of these people are in their 30-50s, but she thinks they're her age!

I want something like whoever-it-was made the program that displayed a 404 error page every time they tried to go to the page

Teaching them that words/behaviour seen are taboo and not to be repeated is a much better thing to do.


What exactley is this "conent" that she doesn't want her seeing?


Failing that.

If you want to block her out of a select few sites then just stick their domains/ip addresses in your hosts directory: c:\windows\hosts for windows.

Im sure being abducted and/or raped etc will be a vital learning experiance.

Well I would agree with him there, since I also think that censorship of any sort based on age alone is one of the stupidest things out there today, but this seems like more of a security related issue than the conventional censorship problem.

Hmm, yes, there is an issue there. Put the domain of these forums into your hosts directory as I explained abouve which will mean any material from those domains will not be downloaded. This is a bonus because not many people are aware of this way of blocking and you won't need a program which leeches off the RAM and cpu (I'm a system resources miser). If you don't tell her what's going on there's a 0% chance she'll figure it out.

Next, I suggest you explain to her to never give her full name, address or phone number to anyone online. Don't just tell her to, make her see your point of view, educate her about the risks and convince her not to and you won't need to censor her in future.
