Okay people, i am a 16 year guy, i have the bsafe crap, and i dont look at that porn crap but for those people who want to, or actually want to get past their filter or anything (such as online games or even news), just download a key logger. All u have to do is download the key logger off a reliable site, set it up and hide it, get parents to type in any passwords u want to know, like the bsafe online password, yahoo password, any other etc... then look at the key log and it shows every key u have typed on the keyboard, sucessfully giving u all the users and passwords desired. If u have a crazy filter go to proxyboxonline.com and u can get past and filter, go on any site you want(its a little laggy though). So whenever u get caught u just re-keylog the computer and re-get the passwords.

I hope this Post is useful for all those typical teenagers that are deprived from their normal life by dictating, bias, communist, socialist parents, etc...(i can keep going and going).

One more thing is that, your parents actually care for u that is why they block your life, so u are not exposed to all the crap online or in the world. But, sometimes parents go a little over the top so u rebel and get away with what u want. So it doesnt matter anyway, someday u will thank your parents for how bad or good they were.

i know this post is controversial but try to get the most out of best sides.

best of luck,

Use Application Blocker (http://www.applicationblocker.com), i am using it for my sister :)
She can`t un-install it and she is very annoyed when she gets different messages when she tries to acces blocked sites&applications. Good luck!

I'm 16 and have Net Nanny on my home computer, and while I wouldn't really mind having monitoring software on my computer (I don't look at anything that my parents would find questionable, so what does it matter?) my problem with it is that its filters are really very poorly thought-out. First, it blocks secure content (https). While there may be people who use https sites to bypass filters, for me, it's how I secure my email. Consequently, when I use a browser other than Firefox or the dreaded IE, Net Nanny blocks my access to my email account. Which is, to say the least, annoying.

Also, I have reason to believe that whatever method they use to scan the page you're trying to access is seriously flawed. I've had sites give me a warning and when I went to look at the page, it was totally clean. Not even the ads were objectionable. I've been to my school website and had it blocked. I'm sure blocking 50% of the entire Internet is a great way to make your kids stay safe, but that's just ridiculous when you think about it.

I'm not even interested in killing the application or finding out my dad's password. I'd just really love to be able to check my email in Opera or Chrome.

As long as I have access to the beginning point and end point I can bypass any filter. I can fool web blockers by using secure proxies. I can run programs in a virtual machine away from the eyes of the spyware (and by that I mean your parental controls which act exactly like spyware does).
