Parental Control Software

Killswitch · Post by **Killswitch** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 8:24 pm

For my next project I'd like to write a simple, freeware (and open source), application that acts as a parental control system for IE. I've been looking at Freaks IE tool to try to understand how to intergrate a program with IE but I'm having a little trouble understanding it.

What I would basically would like to do is to read the URL IE is connecting to then block it if the program deams that it is unsuitable.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

You should rather focus on making a NT service proxy,
with password so a parent can install. configure and password protect it.
And then parents can set IE to always use the proxy with the filtering.
I believe IE allow prantal locking on proxy settings?
Just a thought.

well it would be best to make it work using a proxy. Not even need to make it a service. Then it will work for firefox, ie and all the other browsers that can use proxys.
