As suggestions Software to block Web Sites: Blue Coat K9 Web Protection http://www1.k9webprotection.com/ Effective August 1, 2016, Blue Coat Systems, Inc. was acquired by Symantec Corporation. Blue Coat K9 Web Protection (Protect Children Info) http://www1.k9webprotection.com/aboutk9/protect-my-children Service is free. Software is free. Requires minimal information registration to get license (one license per email address) to connect to their servers. Installs as a service on individual computers. Requires password to access settings and uninstall. Will block predefined web access by category (software and user selection) and selected user URL(s). The software will also set Google Safe Search as a setting (along with yahoo.com and others), among a selection of search block settings. There is an administrative bypass requiring the password as well. Needs to be installed on each computer to use. This application will block everything that accesses the internet based on its settings. The Android version has been discontinued. I have used it for years. I have found that it can be defeated with some search engines, like duckduckgo.com. These URLs can be black listed in the settings, much like a HOSTS file. Software to monitor accessed web sites: Information about Microsoft Network Monitor https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/933741/information-about-network-monitor-3 Microsoft Network Monitor Download https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/4865 This software is great and simply monitors everything that happens on the network. Every connection that occurs on the network. All connected computers are logged (default size for log file is 20MB, can be adjusted). It does have filters for monitoring purposes. It doesn't block network access. The feed back is detailed and some what technical. There is a learning curve with this kind of monitoring software. Hope this helps.
