How to Surf Censored Web Pages

Creating blocks on your computer to censor out Web pages isn’t a bad idea, especially if you have children. There are a few ways that you can still surf the censored Web pages without letting your children surf them as well.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Computer with Internet access
• Password

Use Password Control Options

1. Chances are, you’ve censored the Web pages yourself and have created a password to block them from your children.
2. When you hit a restricted site, type in the password you used.

Adjust your Security Options

3. You can reset your security on your computer to allow more types of Web pages to be visible.
4. Open your Internet Explorer browser.
5. Click on “Tools” then “Internet Options.”
6. Click on the “Security” tab.
7. Click on the Internet icon.
8. Slide the security tab to a lower setting.
9. Click “Ok.”

Tips & Warnings

• If your child is particularly computer-savvy and censoring is an issue they’re not happy with, be aware that they may be able to use a keylogger to capture your password.
• You can set up multiple accounts on a Windows computer—this is a good idea if you have children who also access the Internet. You can set their censorship on their login different from the one on the admin (yours).
