CleanSurf weighs in with the competition!
Most Internet filtering products fit one of
the following two molds: Filtered Internet Service
Providers (I.S.P.) require that you use their dialup connection
in order to be filtered by their server-side filters.
While this may be great as long as you remain connected to them,
these can be easily bypassed by those who you are trying to
protect with an AOL CD or a simple download of NetZero.
Also this can be constraining if you have access to high-speed
access. CleanSurf is compatible with ANY I.S.P., so you
can choose the right service for you, and still remain
filtered. This also means that you can take CleanSurf with
you when you change providers.
Client-side software alternatives usually
require you to download large lists of sites periodically in
order to stay on top of the latest sites. In addition,
these programs may cause conflicts on your system, improperly
block good sites, or not provide enough blocking protection.
