If children of different ages and their parents all use the same computer, it is likely you’ll want different filtering rules to apply for different members of your family. ICRAplus supports this through filtering profiles.
You might want to install several filters and choose some tight rules for your younger child, apply less restrictive filtering for your older child and allow yourself unrestricted surfing. When you use profiles, each family member can have their own login name and password. As they log in, their own set of rules is applied. Younger children especially are likely to warm to the idea of “logging onto the internet with their own special password.”
If you use this feature, each user is asked to log in again after a period of time. This is there to prevent a user with less restrictive settings accidentally leaving the computer whilst they are still logged in and therefore allowing other users wider access than you intended for them. Beware however – as yet no one has invented a mechanism that stops older brothers and sisters passing on secret information to their younger siblings!
