How to Block People From Proxies
Proxies, also known as proxy websites, bypass specified Web filters and allow access to blocked material, such as pornography. To stop people, like children, from utilizing proxies and gaining access to blocked materials, simply regain control by installing a Web-filter program. K9 Web Protection is an ideal program that features a proxy-control option. Users can quickly customize and configure settings to ensure every loophole is filled.
