Our second round of questions primarily concern our solutions Safe Eyes and Safe Eyes Mobile. A few of these questions were asked by multiple readers, so we thought it would be helpful to answer them in a public forum. We hope these answers prove useful in evaluating or using our products.

Perplexed on Proxies
Does Safe Eyes prevent the use of anonymous proxies? If not does it effectively filter the websites offering that service, such as Tor? Also, does a single license (for up to three computers) allow me to cover my 2 PCs and one Mac?

Dear Perplexed,
Safe Eyes has a filtering category called loophole.  This category is always blocked for all users and can’t be turned off.  The loophole category contains proxy sites and other types of sites that allow you to bypass Internet filters.

Also, one license of Safe Eyes ($49.95) provides coverage on up to three computers, any combination of PC or Mac.

Speed Racer
I was wondering if Safe Eyes will slow down the response of displaying web pages. I had another Internet screening product in the past that would slow down the displaying of web pages because it was filtering out ads.

Dear Speed,
Safe Eyes should not produce a noticeable delay in your web-browsing, on PC or Mac. Our server-side technology allows for fast evaluation and return of web content. If for some reason you are not satisfied, we offer a 30-day money back guarantee.

Anxious about Update
Will the current version of Safe Eyes Mobile be ready for the iPhone 3.0 software update (June 19)? Or will you update the software either before or soon after the iPhone 3.0 update comes out? Very important because I don’t want to update my iPod Touch to the new OS and then have Safe Eyes not work! Please advise all of us, thank you.

Dear Anxious,
Safe Eyes Mobile will continue to work on the new 3.0 iPhone and iPod Touch update as normal, so update away!

Blog-Banned
We just loaded Safe Eyes on our computers and we were trying to use this blog to find tips for blocking certain items that were getting through; such as, bikini pictures on a news channel.

Question: your program blocked your blog section on pornography. How can I view your blog without opening up my computers to other sites?

Dear Blog-Banned,
Safe Eyes allows you to whitelist or blacklist certain sites individually through the web blocking administration panel. Simply click on web-blocking, allowed and banned sites, and type in http://blog.internetsafety.com and click allow. This works for any site you want to have access to.

If you want to block bikini pictures, simply check the box next to “swimsuits” under the Web Site Blocking categories.
