Fun Vista parental control and network browsing restrictions

In Windows Vista, parents control can set websites that restrict children's browsing and access. You can use the list of website types provided by some online service providers to set websites that prohibit children from accessing, such as pornographic or gambling websites, you can also enter a detailed list of website domain names to directly prohibit children from accessing some websites. More importantly, these browser restrictions apply to the entire Windows Vista system, that is, not only for Microsoft's own Internet Explorer, but also for other browsers.

How does parent control restrict network browsing?

Next let's take a closer look at how the parental control function works when a child accesses a banned website in Windows Vista.

For the sake of simplicity, we still use the example in parental control in Windows Vista, that is, Abby is the parent account, while Tamara is the child account, when Tamara tries to access a website that is forbidden by Abby settings, the browser will display information similar to the following, telling the website to be blocked by its parents:

However, it may be too absolute to simply prohibit children from accessing a website. After all, although some website content has some inappropriate ingredients, however, browsing with your parents will not cause any harm to your child. Therefore, you can see a "Ask an administrator for permission" link in the Windows Vista Prompt to provide another option for Tamara.

If Tamara clicks this link, a regular UAC window will pop up. At this time, if Abby with a parent identity thinks the content of this website is acceptable, it can be accessed by Tamara, you can simply grant the access permission to it.

Figure

When Abby enters the password, another Prompt window will be displayed to inform him of the website he wants to allow Tamara to access, and to ask if he will allow Tamara to access the website in the future.

From the example above, we can see that it is important to set a strong and difficult-to-guess password to implement true parental control in terms of network browsing restrictions. Otherwise, tamara can easily break through the restrictions of parents.
