Can anyone tell me if they have successfully blocked websites for a child account? I have set up the web filters to: Allow List Only. Then, I typed in one or two websites into the low list, and Any website is still accessible. Everything has been checked and double checked, but it still doesn’t work. Fam safety is ON, as the curfews and timers do work, and when I log onto the child account, there is a pop up box that says family safety is turned on. yet, any website can be accessed. Even a Microsoft tech who went onto my computer remotely couldn’t get it to work. So, I am left wondering if the web filters even work at all. Would love to hear if they work for anyone out there. Thanks

In reply to Skye32blue. Why would you expect your child or teen not to be sneaky about their Internet activity if you are being sneaky about monitoring it? I have to admit I got this idea from another post below. I did not agree with it at first and was going to comment that that person obviously does not have kids but then realized it is a good point. Also, what made this thread so popular today?!?!
