Why You Should Block Websites

With thousands of new websites created every day, it’s overwhelming to keep track of which ones are safe for kids to access. Many families turn to blacklists, or lists of unsafe or mature websites, to keep their children’s Internet experiences safe. Blacklist filtering is the oldest and still most common form of website blocking today. With a blacklist, when a user attempts to go to a website, the URL for that website is compared to a known list of inappropriate sites. If the website is on the list, that site is blocked.

However, blacklists are not able to be updated as quickly as new unsafe websites are created or account for user-generated content that frequently changes. If your family is relying on outdated blacklists to keep your kids safe online, there is a high chance of exposure to adult content, pornography or dangerous websites. In this case, blacklists are prone to under-blocking, since their list of websites is likely out of date and can’t keep up with user-generated content. However, blacklists can also over-block by prohibiting access to entire websites, when singular pages on the website may be perfectly safe.

Unlike most Internet filters that block entire websites, the award-winning Net Nanny^® web filtering technology analyzes every webpage your child visits, plus content in certain apps. Our content filter then instantly determines if the content on that webpage is safe for your child to view, based on the category guidelines and website restrictions that you pre-determine.

Because Net Nanny^® relies on real-time Internet filtering, your family is safer from inappropriate or unwanted websites. Parents using Net Nanny^® still have the option of blocking websites individually and can tailor lists of allowed and blocked websites for each user on their account. Additionally, parents can choose from 14 different categories to allow, alert or block for their child.

How Net Nanny^® Website Blocking Works

Net Nanny’s state-of-the-art web filtering technology scans websites for inappropriate content in real-time. Unlike other software, Net Nanny^® doesn’t use cookie cutter website block lists – instead, our Internet filtering and website blocking software scans the content on each webpage and blocks it based on the categories that you choose to filter.

Net Nanny^® parental control software scans websites as you’re surfing, in real-time, blocking websites that contain material you’ve flagged in the settings. With our parent controls, you can rest assured that you have the power of the best Internet filter and website blocker protecting your family.

Net Nanny’s Internet filter and website blocker utilizes artificial intelligence-based natural language filtering, which is not only able to detect specific keywords on a webpage but can also determine the context of that word relative to the content on the page. For instance, if the word “breast” is detected on a webpage, Net Nanny^® will scan the rest of the page to determine if this word is used in the context of cooking (i.e. chicken breast) or an inappropriate context, and block accordingly. With over two decades of experience, the Net Nanny^® filter is unsurpassed in its capabilities.
