Quickstart: Support - How to Change Your Filter Settings in Net Nanny

1. Double click on the Net Nanny icon on your desktop or in your system tray:
   
2. Login with an Admin account and the Admin password and click OK.
   
3. Once logged in click on the User whose filter setting you wish to adjust and then under Filtering select from Web Browsing, Instant Messaging, Social Networking or Additional Settings.
   
4. Web Filtering:
   1. Checking the box next to Enable Web Browsing allows access to the internet
   2. Checking the box next to Record Web activity records all websites visited
   3. Filter Web Content – means that your filtering will done based on the Categories that you select as Blocked or Allowed
   4. Restrict Browsing to Specific sites – allows you to enter in a list of sites that are allowed – everything else is blocked
   5. When Blocked or Warned - Display allows for:
      1. Block Dialog – the Net Nanny block with site and reason / category – can include the Request Override and/or Override option
      2. “forbidden page” – allows the Admin to Block with user knowing it’s Net Nanny
      3. Website – instead of being blocked they are reverted to a website that you select
      4. Net Nanny Block Page - just a block page with no options
   6. Checking the box next to Display the reason for being blocked will display the category- some parents like to uncheck this so their children are not exposed to the word Pornography.
   7. Checking the box next to Allow user to request exceptions provides a box for the end user to request that a site be on the allowed list. This can then be approved by the Admin. Sites that have already been listed as Blocked will not receive this ability.
   8. Keyword Blocking- click on Manage Keywords allows the Admin to type in specific words they want blocked – works great for foreign words
