Questions
& Answers
How is a server
based filter
different? Why is server
based filtering better?
Some software programs
analyze a page AFTER it gets
received into your computer.
While better than having no
filtering they have their
drawbacks. Analyzing the
page after it's received slows
your computer.
Our filter checks the site you
are going with our server BEFORE
the page is received into your
computer.
Our server does all the heavy
lifting. Your computer does NOT
slow down.
Server based filtering is
more accurate
Are all server
based filtering providers
the same?
NO..
Some use Inclusion filtering,
others use Exclusion filtering.
Some use word blocks, others use
site blocking lists.
We use all those & more.
Most importantly, we consult
with YOU to determine the
correct mix for your family.
What is INclusion
filtering?
NOT the kind we
use...
Inclusion filtering
ONLY allows you to go to sites
that are pre approved and as
such gives you only a tiny slice
of the Internet to access.
Companies that offer this type
of filtering brag that it is
100% effective.
Well, yes, if they only allow
you to go to SESAME STREET they
can guarantee you'll see NO
pornography.
BUT there are hundreds of
millions of great sites you may
want or need to see not included
in their limited selection.
What is
EXclusionary filtering?
This is the kind we
use...
Allows you the ENTIRE
Internet with the exception of
sites identified as offensive.
This type approach is the best
filter uses the best possible
methods of screening content.
Our server based approach is the
best and most accurate.
What are site
blocking lists?
We use site blocking
lists BUT we don't stop
there...
Some companies only
use a blocking list of bad sites
but relying solely on a
blocking list will miss
new sites or sites that have
changed since being
reviewed.
What
other steps do you take
beyond blocking lists?
See our combination of
blocking techniques above.
What
about opposing viewpoints?
Every
Internet
provider
has a filtering
philosophy.
Ours is to protect you and your
family from danger and
temptation.
We do not attempt to
shelter our customers from ideas
which differ with our ideas or
even with our morals.
Sites that express ideas that we
as Christians cannot accept as
well as sites promoting beliefs
other than our own will
not be blocked, unless it is
explicit or presents
danger.
What
happens when a user tries to
access a blocked site?
The
user will be presented with a
screen that says they have been
blocked from the site they are
trying to visit.
At this point the user may
request a review if they
believe the site blocking was
in error.
Requests
for review are handled within 24
hours & results of review
emailed to customer.
