Porn on safari?

I use opendns at opendns.com. It's free and the control panel allows you to block **** or specific sites along with anything else you want to block. With a 14 yr old in the house it's a great thing to have. Very simple to set up. Then you're in control of what your kids see, not them or a browser.

Go to Settings, General, Restrictions. You can disable a few of the Apple apps completely, and even restrict the way some apps work. But as far as I know, a browser is a browser without much if any web page restrictions. Not quite as robust as a full computer, but you can always disable Safari.

Since you are buying an app that can access adult content there is a warning. Any app that can access the Internet has this warning. You can restrict only the use of Safari.

To restrict the use of Safari go the Setting for the iPad -->General-->Restrictions...

Good points, David. I use the OpenDNS control panel right from their website, not a separate app. We've got wifi here at home that my iPad & my teenaged son's laptop connects through. I doubt it would work at all with 3G. I can use my iPad to sign in at opendns.com with my username/password and check all the data, block/unblock. In my case I don't need an iPad app to do it.

I love OpenDNS.

This is for the iPhone and should/will work for the iPad... when working with opendns on a mobil device.

I have been using opendns for a longtime and it has a lot of advantages over using your ISP DNS server. I wonder if opendns would help with wifi problems that some people are having on the iPad? Couldn't hurt.

I just started using OpenDNS on the iPad. From home it works great...

(From what I can see.) If you go out and use another wifi connection you will have to plug in the numbers for OpenDNS for that connection. In fact for each new connection you will have to this... As for filtering you might need the desktop widget/app to use OpenDNS filtering on the iPad. There isn't an OpenDNS app...

As for g3 connection, OpenDNS may not work. I don't have a a 3G iPad and I don't know if there is a DNS setting like the wifi setting has...

Google... 'Opendns for the iPad' for more info.
