Control My Content

Unfiltered browsing and unlimited apps leave the door open to unwanted content. There are several options for filtering internet content and apps to allow only the content you need. Options differ for various types of computers and phones.

There are also options of WiFi and router-based devices that control all content in the home.

Below is a list of several options currently available .

It is strongly recommended that filters and monitoring programs be installed on phones and devices by techs who are experienced in the various options and levels that each filter provides.

Experts caution that filter and monitoring programs are not a substitute for open discussion, personal awareness, and, appropriate role modeling by parents.
