Is there a way to look at wat my kids are looking at on the internet on a mac?

Question

just want to make sure if there doing apropriate things

Answer 1

You can purchase or download several different parental controls software suites that will help you manage your kids internet use.

You can also install any of the VNC programs (tight VNC or Ultra VNC) on the computers so that you can remotely access their computers.

Install the VNC server as a service on the kids machines and use VNC viewer on yours.

You want to check them, start VNC viewer, enter the IP address of the machine and then enter the password you created. You are in control of the machine  

Answer 2

Hi there

Apple has downloads for 3rd party developers to help you monitor (or block) what their doing.

- ContentBarrier - that sets up a protective wall around your computer.

- Kids GoGoGo - Block the sites you don’t want them to see.

- BumperCar - The kid-safe web browser for educators and parents alike. Content filtering, site whitelisting, site blacklisting, and more.

Contact your local Apple User Group  http://www.apple.com/usergroups/  ... there are folks just like you with answers you can use.

Hope this helps.
