I cannot seem to block www.myspace.com using Net Nanny for Mac. How can I get Net Nanny for Mac to block MySpace without entering every single MySpace URL into the blocked list?

Create a category in the web filters list. You can name it whatever you like (ex: Social Networking). Add "myspace" (minus the quotes) as a keyword. You can do this for any social networking site like Friendster, FaceBook, tribe.net, etc...

It may also be helpful to add variations to the keyword list as well. For instance add "myspace", "myspace.com", "MYSPACE", and "MYSPACE.COM".

Be sure to empty your browser cache when you make these changes. Then test to make sure the sites are being blocked. In Safari to empty the cache, go to the Safari menu and choose Empty Cache. Other browsers have a similar command.

If you come across any sites that are not being blocked that you feel should be blocked, please send the URL to submit@netnanny.com.
