How do you block porn from appearing on your Mac?

[Quarterquack]

Windows computers don't have that*. I say hire a professional private investigator (no, not a computer analyst), and have said person take real life screenshots of any activity in your computer's vicinity. Then next time the porn links open up, click on the contact button, and sell the pictures the PI took.

How about, you just signup for OpenDNS. You can set it up to block all DNS requests to porn sites. You will find all you need to know on the OpenDNS site.

It isn't 100% fool proof. For example you can just change DNS servers to get around it, but it stops the kids here from looking at porn. They don't even know what DNS is.

this is the most sensible answer i have heard lol...yea opendns is used on our systems and at work. its not 100% (unless you add sites manually) but it does a good job.

add K9 on to the system and you have a bloody good way to stop anything adult.

Note both of those can be bypassed if the Windows account has administrator privileges, although K9 is certainly tougher (you have to kill the service and stop the driver, which has a chance of hard rebooting the computer). And kids these days are potential hackers

k9 is very hard to crack, you disable any of the services the net stop working completely, untill k9 is back up and running.....i have tried to bypass it myself with no luck with admin privs, and messing around with the registry.....plus most of the system won't be using admin privs on their accounts (thats just stupid) i have to say that ametuer people/parents leave the system open with admin privs but hey they ask for it.

When my school briefly implemented K9 in their computers last year, I was able to disable it that way. Although now that you mention it, I don't remember whether I could stop the driver via the device manager, or had to disable it via registry (Start=0x4), then restart. And there was the aforementioned chance of a reboot.

True, it shouldn't be done.
