Whitelisting of Websites

Post by kwvh »

Does anyone have any recommendations for software or tools to allow users to only go to a list of approved websites?

Thanks for your ideas and consideration.

Never used these tools but you could try some experiments with Chrome or FireFox add-ons...

-- Whitelist for Chrome
-- Easy Whitelist

I don't have experience with these myself, but the following might help:

Mozilla Firefox: Easy Whitelist
Google Chrome: Whitelist for Chrome

You can also search for Parental Control :grin:
Best wishes,

In addition to the above, I have heard some great things (a while back though) about the free software called: K9 Web Protection
And a long list of alternatives to the K9 suggestion: http://alternativeto.net/software/k9-web-protection/

Rudi,

Thanks for the suggestion. I should have indicated that the pc users have the option of Chrome, Foxfire, IE and Opera. So I would need something that works across all browsers. 5 pc's involved. No server, so will need per pc solution.

Thanks

K9 is apparently compatible with many browsers. See this to confirm: http://www1.k9webprotection.com/support/kb/K9124.html
