Do you guys know of any good way to block porn? My cousin owns an internet cafe and he's havng trouble with horny costumers that can't help themselves to view porn sites. Please help.
Well the best thing to do is simply block porn sites... and blocking ALL of them is probably impossible. Kedit: sorry thats a bit blunt isn't t... well as for HOW to block porn sites you might be better off asking google for some form of porn blacklist...
Some software: ZoneAlarm pro with web filter Netdog porn filter K9 Web protection The truth is they are all useless. They can use a https-based proxy(with web interface so that you don't have to mess with proxy setting) to bypass.
without using any additional software, you add them to the hosts file, mapping them to an address in the 127.x.x.x range, but thats a lot of work if you have more than one computer. I would suggest he gets an old machine installed with smoothwall express (www.smoothwall.org) and dansguardian content filter (http://community.smoothwall.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=49) and uses that as a transparent proxy for all the machines in the internet cafe. it's safer than locally installed software as the users can't disable or interfere with it.
