- Blocking Websites
- Posted by Tammi on February 5th, 2006
I'm trying to block myspace.com from my daughter. I've tried entering the
entire website in to the restricted zone on IPs several times. It still
allows me in. I must be missing something??? Is there somewhere else I have
to apply a security control? I have myself as administrator.

Are you using Content Advisor in IE?

I've never used it, so I can't say how reliable it is.
Note: No software is a substitute for supervision, and a smart, motivated
kid can eventually outwit nearly any parent. Leave the computer in a public
area. Talk to her about safe surfing, and make her a 'partner' in this,
rather than being a tough cop.

I would second Lanwench's opinion, but if you need to block access:
Have you tried entering the domain into the hosts file? Something along the
lines of:
127.0.0.1 myspace.com
You may have to add several of the subdomains too. Here is a link to see how
hosts files work:
