If you search for it you will find it, but you BETTER have some pretty strong virus protection. Your next questions in the short future will be how to stop all those foreign mobsters from draining your bank accounts and why you owe taxes on earnings in some state you've never been to.
Also, I thank everyone in this Norton forum who have replied to my several threads. Other online forums for software and hardware are not nearly as helpful.
Due to the extent of unrated sites, your best bet might be to purchase software such as net nanny. Its 40 bucks and has to be renewed annually to keep it updated.
1) The first one is a fairly simple method and all you need to do is merely use HTTPS in the URL instead of HTTP. This trick conceals the name of the banned site as it encrypts the entire web address. This allows you to easily access restricted content despite them being blocked by Internet service providers (ISP). Interestingly, many top pornographic websites such as Xvideos, Pornhub and RARBG use HTTPS and can be easily accessed using this minor trick.
What if I want to see other countries porn sites, will it be possible to see them? When I google porn sites, i think only american sites pop up
You can't stop them with any website blocker. To be honest, you can't stop them at all. The only way they'll stay away from porn is if they don't want to see it. It's too easy to get. So try to instill good morals. Not as easy as a website blocker, and doesn't have a 100% gurantee, but it's the best I know of.
The best way to prevent them from viewing it at home is to go into your router and black list those sites. Don't get me wrong it is a bit of an undertaking. There are tons of those sites out there. After you black list them you can then use the logging feature in your router to see which IP addresses have accessed which sites. So if new sites do pop up, you can then black list them as well. As I said it is a long and ongoing process if you want to prevent all of it. The most important part of all of this though, is making sure that your router has a good password that only you know so your kids don't figure out how to get onto and change the settings. I'm sure there are tutorials online that can help, or just ask a tech savvy friend to help you get it set up.
>> It is certainly possilbe for other PC's on the same home or business network to get cross infected but the probability is lower provided those other computers are also fully protected with up to date firewall, AV software, etc.
The popularity of any given site should indicate the need for caution. Malware is a profitable business, and it is not profitable to place it where users seldom go. That is why Facebook, Youtube and others are such hot targets. Any video clips, music downloads, and popular P2P sites are targets.
I've been warned to never go to porn sites- not on morality grounds but because of malware. I asked in a Usenet newsgroup on security issues and the consensus is that the threat is severe. When I said that I'm using Norton 360, some said that's nice but it's not good enough for the kind of malware that might be found on porn sites.
2) If for whatever reason the first option doesn’t work (which in all likelihood it won’t) then the second trick you can use is a Google DNS server or a Cloudflare DNS (which is the world’s fastest DNS). This allows you to bypass the DNS servers used by ISPs as it can be altered by heading into your computer’s network settings.
And at the first sign of any problem you should get away from the site and don't navigate back to it.
Knowing how to handle unexpected pop-ups, setting up and using Trusted vs Internet zones in IE. Sites in your trusted list can be granted more rights to do thing like running scripts, Active X, etc. SItes in the wider Internet zone should be given less rights. This also helps make your surfing experience safer.
