Many have asked me for a list of good Internet filters and accountability programs. Everyone has their favorites, but here’s my short list of filters:
- x3watch.com (free and paid versions)
- OpenDNS (free and paid versions)
- Content Watch
However, rather than just having a filter, you may want to consider a more comprehensive program with a filter and accountability software. For example, Covenant Eyes is a program that helps families stay clear of gambling, pornography, and other bad influences. Accountability software monitors and reports all Web activity to an Accountability Partner of your choice, thereby removing the temptation and secrecy of the Internet. The reports score Web sites to easily identify mature Web addresses, searches, and links. You can choose which services to use by each person in your family: accountability, filtering, or both. I set up an affiliate relationship with Covenant Eyes to give you a special offer. If you decide you want to try it, you can use the promocode saints to receive the first 30 days free.
