How to Filter Porn Websites on Your Computer

Do you want to block Porn web sites on your computer to keep a clean internet surfing? Do you want to filter Porn content from the internet to Protect your children? There are many ways to filter Porn web sites.

Incomplete Porn Filtering Methods:

1. Modify hosts file

Locate your HOSTS file. For Windows XP/VISTA/7/8, it is located in: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.

To open hosts file, browse the location and double click on the file named HOSTS. You will be asked whether you want to search the internet for a program to open the file or if you wish to choose from a list. Search the option list and select Notepad, and click OK. You can now view all of the websites that are being blocked.

To manually block a site, go to the bottom of the file and on a new line type "127.0.0.1 siteyouwanttoblock.com" without quotes. This will block siteyouwanttoblock.com. Repeat the process for any other sites you wish to block, and then save the file by going to File>Save. Remember: One website per line.

2. Use open DNS

If you want to filter what can and can NOT be seen on the Internet, you can use OpenDNS. Schools and government offices use it, and it’s free.

Warning:
With above two porn filtering methods, you can still visit websites you blocked with a web proxy. To completely block websites, you may need a professional Porn Filter.

Complete Porn Filtering Method:

1. Use a professional porn filter.

I recommend Aobo Filter for PC to block unwanted websites and filter porn websites on your computer.

Aobo Filter for PC works with all popular web browsers. It can:

– Filter porn web sites automatically
– Running in stealth and undetectable mode
– Blocks all porn web sites before they loaded to web browsers

To get a website unblocked by Aobo Filter for PC, please add it to the Aobo Filter for PC White List.

2. Mac OS X porn filtering method:

For Mac OS X porn filtering, you can use an Internet Filter for Mac. It also logs web history and block applications as you wish.

Final Review:

If you only want to block one or two websites, and there is no need to worry about someone bypassing the blocker with a web proxy. You can just modify the HOSTS file.

If you want to block most of porn web sites, and there is no need to worry about someone bypassing the blocker with a web proxy. You can use OpenDNS.

If you need to filter all porn web sites, and worry about someone may modify your settings or bypass the blocker with a web proxy. Then you need a professional porn filter like Aobo Filter for PC.
