Last week we covered a powerful, and free, Microsoft tool that protects kids both online, and offline: Protect your Kids from Cyber Dangers

Another free tool, which can be used concurrently with Microsoft Family Safety, is OpenDNS. It can protect Apple computers, iPads, iPhone, Androids, etc.

Without going into details that you don’t need to know in order to use their service, their solution is surprisingly simple – and effective. OpenDNS helps keep your family from visiting “bad” websites. That includes attackers that lure your family to visit their websites.

There are simple instructions at their website: OpenDNS.com

Remember, last week’s tool only works with Microsoft computers, but it handles off-line use too. In its most basic configuration, OpenDNS protects against online only, but can cover just about any device that connects to your network.

Families of many executives will be getting new computers during the Holiday Season. Those new computers will come with Windows 8.1, along with a free tool designed to help you to protect your kids, find out what they are doing on their computers, and impose healthy boundaries.

To help your kids be responsible, Microsoft Family Safety helps you:

  • Receive activity reports
  • Set time limits and curfews
  • Set limits on games and apps
  • Restrict what websites kids can visit
  • Have different settings for each of your kids
  • Kids can ask for permission, even when you aren’t with them

Microsoft provides a clear and concise tutorial for parents here: Keep your Kids Safer on the PC

You might even get your e-savvy kids to help you set it up… Just don’t tell them your password, so they can’t change the settings later…
