Sites are getting through that shouldn't!

Because technology is incapable of making a moral decision on an image or a video, Net Nanny filters out websites according to the written words on a page.

Net Nanny is a contextual word filter. For example, "breast" in a pornographic context will cause our filter to block the page. "Breast" used in a cooking context (chicken breast) will not cause our software to block the page.

Therefore, if a page has only images or videos with no text, or nothing of a pornographic or otherwise questionable context written on the page, Net Nanny doesn't have a reason to block the page.


To help us improve our filter, please report any site that gets through the filter that shouldn't to this website: http://www.contentwatch.com/support/accuracy


BLOCK SITES, BASED ON KEY WORDS
You can add any keyword(s) you'd like, to ensure that any web site is blocked that has key words you add to Net Nanny.
***Please be aware that adding keywords will cause Net Nanny to over block.*** e.g. Adding "sex" will cause all web sites to get blocked that have "sex" written on the page, including sites that have an employment context: 'we do not discriminate based on sex.'

Simply open the Net Nanny Admin Tools. Highlight the Profile you want to ensure cannot find sites with the key words you want to block them from, then open Filtering.

In the middle click "Manage Keywords." Enter any objectionable words or phrases to further protect this specific profile from web sites that contain these key words and phrases. To add multiple phrases, simply add each phrase on a separate line. Each line is a separate phrase.


BLOCK SPECIFIC SITES
If you wish to always allow or always block a web site, do the following

1. Copy the web address (e.g. www.msn.com) for the page that you want blocked or allowed on a permanent basis.
2. Open the Net Nanny Admin Tools. (Right-click the Net Nanny icon - next to the time of day - left-click Admin Tools.)
3. Open Exceptions.
4. Click Add. Type or paste the web address in the empty field at the top of the list and press Enter.
5. To the right of the web address you've just entered is the Action column. The defaulted selection is "Block." To allow a site, simply click on the dropdown to the right of "Block" and in the list - 2nd from the top - left-click once on Allow.
6. Click "Ok."
7. Close the Net Nanny Admin Tools.
