A software solution that filters content for personal computers used in homes.
If you're in the market for a content filtering solution for your home computer, K9 Web Protection may be the software for you. This program aims to provide a family-safe Internet experience, giving you full control over the content that enters your home.
What sets K9 Web Protection apart is its use of enterprise-class Web filtering technology, the same as that used by Blue Coat's top Fortune 500 customers worldwide. Yet, K9 Web Protection delivers this sophisticated technology in a user-friendly preference pane designed specifically for Mac users.
One of the standout features of K9 Web Protection is its unique Web filtering technology, which divides Internet content into 60 distinct categories based on each site's content. Information about these categories is stored in the Blue Coat database, which also maintains ratings for more than 15 million websites and domains.
Thanks to its flexibility, K9 Web Protection can be personalized to meet your preferences and needs. You can configure the software to allow or block specific categories, meaning you'll never have to worry about inappropriate content entering your home.
As with any piece of software, K9 Web Protection does have its known issues. For example, when browsing a website that the software has blocked, selecting the option to Allow This Site or Allow This Category can sometimes require multiple attempts. Additionally, error and warning pages that include the option to override the Web filter may not accept the K9 administrator password intermittently. However, simply refreshing the page should solve the problem and allow Internet access again.
It's worth noting that K9 Web Protection is completely free for home use. If you're looking for a user-friendly, customizable content filtering solution for your Mac, K9 Web Protection is well worth a look.
