K9 Web Protection from Blue Coat

We have come across this web protection tool which is a free internet filtering and control solution for the home.

We are the first genertation of internet parents, and it is amazing how much inappropriate material there is on the internet.  Even when they don't intend to, most kids - often while doing schoolwork on the internet - run into internet hazards and unwanted material.

A company called Blue Coat has made its Internet filtering software available for free to parents in our communities. They’ve created a consumer-friendly parental-control solution called K9 Web Protection that’s based on their commercial technology. Any parent can have it for free by going to www.getk9.com.

Blue Coat has no political or religious affiliation. They simply know what is out there on the Internet, and how important it is to protect kids from sites that promote hate speech, violence or pornography.

Filtering tools like K9 aren’t the complete solution. The larger set of issues includes setting limits for Internet use at home, recognizing Internet predators, and preventing Internet bullying. I believe these are community issues that require community action. If these issues are important to you, too, let’s get together and talk. You can reach us at (636)240-0505.
