Check out their quite easy and powerful content restrictions.
Suggestion: Have someone else have the password (or half and half with a spouse) and do the following:
Lock installing apps + remove browser + add apps you need (possible rules: no games, no sports, no entertainment, etc.).
[Occasionally an app will have a built in browser/or need to access a certain website - just go back in to settings (with password) and add that website].
There is time restrictions and more features too.
(May not be enough for teenagers - consult your own advisers - this solution sure beats doing nothing and there is no excuse)

You mean even though K9 doesnt offer that service if he accesses my computer through a skype kinda service he can enter it remotely?
Correct
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I'm occasionally getting messages that k9 can't connect to bluecoat...which doesnt allow me to access the page.. any reason why this is happening on pages that for sure should not be blocked by the filter?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

If k9 can't connect it can't evaluate whether the page meets the standards you've set so it will just block it

Why can't it connect? Is that something that usually happens with K9?

Personally it only happens to me when my internet connection is down, usually right after I open the computer

i also think i remember that there were versions which didnt block https even when it was supposed to.  update your k9 as well.

Do you have Avast antivirus? It can clash with K9.

So why is it that TAG says to buy an iPhone over an Android?
Iphones can be done fairly well for free, instead of paying up to $120 a year for Livigent.

do you really rely on limited adult content?

Does anyone know whether TAG-installed k9 (don't know if the fact that TAG installed it makes a difference) works/will work properly with windows 10?
(Sorry if it was asked already.)

It was not asked, tag installs the regular k9, I don't know if it works

I recently installed k9, and I find that web page loading is very slow. I get a message: resolving something or other. Is this because of k9? Is it unrelated? Any advice would be appeciated.
