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)

Please explain.
It's not very likely that a "Shmuely from the Frum internet filter company" would know a US person if it's a filter based in UK or Israel.

So your not denying that they can see everything. Your just saying they probably don’t know you personally.

It's obvious that "they" (as in "their system", who exactly has access to it I don't know but most likely not a lot of people) can "technically" see everything. If their system can read it, then they can read it too....

I was referring to the difference he has made about the John from the internet provider that can also technically see quite a lot.

And BTW, if you are in a big company your IT department can provably also "technically" see a lot more than you would want to.

I can say that a standard TechLoq rep does not have access to any browsing history. This seems to be by design though it does make troubleshooting harder, as a support rep would have to reach out to the customer and have him reproduce the issue while he is using a tool to determine what is being blocked in real time.

I use Techloq. They cannot filter IP address', only URL's. Are there other good filters which can filter IP address'?

So bottom line to sum it up: Yes the guys at the UK office might be "yentas" and go thru a few hours or days of your computer log, but if anyone finds out he is jobless.... or could close their comp.
Besides the point that most guys who have access to your log arent Jewish, so Shmuley what your talking about can`t have access, but the outsourced tech guys from I don`t know where could.... and thats why I`m comparing it to john at tha cable comp...

Just found out about this site and thought it was cool to anyone looking for cleaner YouTube experience.

613Tube.com- Just shows the video itself without any suggestions.
"From now on, anytime someone sends you a YouTube link, just replace "youtube.com" with "613tube.com", and you will see the same video, just in a cleaner atmosphere."

Example: https://www.613tube.com/watch/?v=LXQcrsS1PzM"

When the video ends it gives you suggestions.

Definitely better than having them while watching the video, just pointing that out

Has anyone found an about page or FAQ where they write what they do?

There is a big difference between the suggestions that you get on youtube when a video finishes and 613tube. On youtube, you get suggestions from random channels. On 613tube, I tested it and you only get suggestions from that specific channel, so it's significantly better than youtube.

Sorry for the off topic, but I must ask you this.  How in the world did you end up saving a screenshot in a PDF?  I'm normally amused when people send it in a Word document, but a PDF.. that's a first.

It saved as a PNG that was 1.2 MB. It didn't allow me to upload here, I got a msg Attachments here are limited to something like 582KB, so I converted to PDF and uploaded
