This is probably the most foolproof option. A Christian
Internet Service Provider like CharacterLink.net
works just like AOL or other online providers like EXECPC, but only allows
access to approved sites. If you want to go to a site that is not on their
approved list, you request it, and it generally takes a day or so for them
to review and add it. This slight inconvenience is really the only weakness
of this option. Another nationwide Christian company that filters out bad
sites on their server is SafePlace.
Note that a service like SafePlace, though tamper-proof compared to filtering
software, still must keep up a list of "bad" sites, while the CharacterLink
method of only allowing pre-approved sites will undoubtedly be safer. CharacterLink
or SafePlace may not have a local number where you live. CharacterLink
is about $12.50/month for 10 hrs per week (as of 1/99 in one locality --
check for current rates). Again, for a list, see SmartParent.

Another option is to use a filtered ISP such as CharacterLink.net or Pkfamily.com. This is the most reliable filtering available as all of the filtering takes place on the ISP's server.

There are several good accountability programs available: Covenant Eyes (CovenantEyes.com), Eye Promise (promisekeepers.org/resc/30.htm) and HackerWacker (hackerwacker.com/consumer/default.htm) are just a few. There are also "spyware" programs such as Spector Pro (spectorsoft.com), which secretly records your PC's activity like a VCR records TV
