Tomorrow for Christmas my oldest daughter will receive a laptop computer.  We’ve had a laptop that both of my girls have shared for the past year, but both need to use it more often for school work which has created some evening conflict in our house.  (It’s amazing how teachers assign homework now assuming that they have access to a computer at home). 

Having her own laptop will mean that she will most likely keep it in her bedroom which has put me on a search for a good web filter.  I found the K9 web filter from Blue Coat.  I’ve installed the filter and have been very impressed!  As an administrator, there are lots of settings you can tweak to block or allow specific content.  Best of all, it’s FREE!
