Child Protection on the Internet: The Best Child Protection Programs

To make your Internet child-safe, there are many different child protection programs that prevent your youngest from surfing the Internet in an uncontrolled manner. We'll introduce you to the best tools to keep control over online activities and set limits.

Child protection on the Internet: Safe surfing with the KinderServer for U12

• The free "KinderServer" software only leaves your kids on checked websites: The tool uses the content of the children's search engine "FragFinn" and "Blinde Kuh".
• Specifically, this means: Facebook and Google are taboo, while your little ones can play and surf on logo.tivi.de and kika.de.
• After installation, you have to set a parent password so that you have unlimited Internet access yourself. When the computer is started, KinderServer becomes active and automatically puts the PC into child mode.
• The protection software is designed for an age limit of 12 years. Older children get more access rights with the youth protection program "Jusprog", which we will introduce to you in the next section.

Child protection program: Violence and erotic filters for teens

• For all teens aged 13 and over, the limits on the Internet are loosened somewhat with "Jusprog": the free program has checked and activated around 1 million websites.
• The principle is based on various filters: each website is divided according to age and content. If your child is not yet old enough, he / she is denied the page.
• There is also a parent password here, with which you can add exceptional pages for your child and use the internet without filters.

The Internet Sitter for Kids: "Parents Friend"

• The free child protection program "Parents Friend" not only offers an individual blacklist with keywords, but also allows time limits. So you can be sure that your child will not get lost in the vastness of the network.
• Time limits can be set for days and weeks and relate to both Internet and computer use per se. You can also set up blocking times. You have the choice.
• A logbook records all of your child's actions: which websites your son has visited and which programs your daughter uses. You can have automatic screenshots taken at regular intervals.

All about carefree with "Child Protection 2013"

• With the "Child Protection 2013" you get extensive child protection and control features for time restrictions, filters and various extras. The program currently costs 30 euros.
• The "child protection" combines various blacklists and whitelists, such as the youth protection filter of the federal inspection body and the "FragFinn" children's pages. There are also millions of blocked sites, such as file sharing providers, exchange sites and adult websites. Of course, you too can block pages and keywords.
• A sophisticated time limit system not only allows limits for days, weeks and weekends, but also for vacation times. Your child can take part in learning programs and then get additional internet time. You can also give your child additional time using TAN numbers.
• You can specifically impose time limits on certain websites, such as video or game websites. At the same time, of course, allow more time for encyclopedias like Wikipedia.
