My sister does the virtual school online but we’ve been having problems with her going on Facebook and other stuff and not doing her work. We’re trying to find a program that will block all of that. I downloaded K9 web protection which did a really good job. I thought I could fix it where certain sites were only blocked certain times but I wasn’t able to do that (or I couldn’t figure out how). I heard Net Nanny was good but someone said it didn’t work well on Windows 7.
I really like K9 and will probably stick with it unless I find something with more features so please don’t bother suggesting anything unless it’s capable of blocking only certain sites at certain times like I said. The idea is allowing her access to her school work while blocking Facebook and other things but also completely eliminating a blocker during the weekends and such. The software we have now blocks constantly and can only allow constant access for an hour at a time. It’s a pain to continuously put in a password every hour just to use the computer.
I’ve tried several Chrome and Firefox add-on’s and some were fantastic but could be easily worked around by disabling them or just using another browser.
