Solve : Block Website?

Answer»

I was wondering if anyone knew of any software that would allow me to block certain websites during specific times of the day.

The Reason for this being that my Children are homeschooled and I would like to block them from using myspace or facebook while they should be doing schoolwork, however I would like them to be able to use it again later on, without me having to go to the computer and disabling Content Advisor, every day. Basically I need to block these sites from 8:00-3:00 every weekday, but they should have access the rest of the day.I took a fair amount of time looking into some solutions.  Unfortunately everything I found either blocked all internet access on a schedule (but not specific sites) or could block specific sites but not on a schedule.  The sites were either blocked or not blocked.

However...

Almost every commercial parental control package SUPPORTED reporting.  So once a week (or as often as you like) you could view the log of every SITE you child visited and at what time.  While this won't prevent them from going to the site, it will let you know if they went at a period of time you told the kids they couldn't.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Have you considered a HOSTS file ? ?

Info Here

Do you have the machine setup with an account for them or does everyone use the same account ? ?

patio.   8-)I am Silvercreek btw... I use that username when I'm at work. The Hosts Idea is a great ONE, I will attempt to put that into practice when I get back to work on monday, since it's actually my bosses kids that are the problem. They Are Homeschooled at the office.

Thank you for all your input.I would also highly suggest setting up a user account for the kids. You can block them from installing, DELETING and generally wreaking havoc on your machine while you are hard at work...
