Change the DNs servers to use opendns, this will then stop him using it for getting in trouble on facebook or twitter

I haven't found what you want, even the apps tend to be a switch on/ switch off for areas such as internet, history etc

+1 this then protects all devices

The opendns website gives a good guide for each OS and router.

Familyshield by opendns is also good for just filtering out the nasties and is easier to set up.

I've used open DNS for years on my router after my ISP caused a few probs accessing certain sites.

So does OPen DNS block bad sites then ?

there is a crowd sourced list of bad sites, if you set your blocking options to block porn, then any site that has been flagged as porn will just return the open dns blocking page

Great. Ive just logged the ipad into my acciunt. Haven't really applied the restrictions so will have a look.

That may also explain why I had a 'car' forum blocked by them. Emailed Open DNS and they released the block. Must have got on the naughty list. Didnt think Nissans were naughty

Blimey, you've got to set the blocking to low. Medium and high would block most stuff.

On Low it bocks high end carbon bike shops as they are classified as Bike Porn
