Blocking Sites and stuff

Does anybody know of a good secure program, that will allow a person to block certain sites eg. like facebook and skype.

Thanks.

I use OpenDNS on my network, which lets you block certain domains. You can also change your Hosts file to redirect those sites to 127.0.0.1.

 

Yeah I use the host file method, make all blocked sites redirect back to google.

OpenDNS Basic
Ideal for Home Users

* Web Content Filtering
* Phishing Protection
* Basic Customization
* Typo Correction
* Simple Traffic Reports
* Ad-Supported

Is this the one you are using ? Looks O.K just not sure about the ad-supported thing.

 

That basically means if you enter a site name wrong, it will redirect to an OpenDNS launch page which have 'sponsored links' at the top and bottom.
