Internet Filter IF-2K
Reviewed by: Andrew Sylwester, Wed Feb 23 2005
I am getting broadband this week, and am newly-concerned about my 4 children's access to internet porn. With a dial-up, and with my computer in the living room, I haven't been too concerned before. But my oldest is now 16, and we're not home all day. And with broadband, he could access movies of bukkake and bestiality (yiiiikes!). Anyway, I was SORELY disappointed to discover that the highest-rated filters were only for the PC. Worse, filters for the Mac were few, and those seemed hackneyed (e.g., Kids GoGoGo). Fortunately, there have been several new apps to appear in the past several months including ContentBarrier X3 and IF-2K. I downloaded both, but only installed IF-2K so far. I thought if IF-2K wasn't good, I'd move on to the Content Barrier app. No need. I am COMPLETELY impressed and satisfied with IF-2K. After installing it, I spent several (rather fun) hours trying to beat it. It comes preloaded with 750K sites in its database, and I was able to breach its wall with only a few slangy terms (e.g., 'lesbos'). Nicely, the app allows you to put those in to a supplementary library of banned terms. Having been a horny 16yo, I know how motivated teen boys can be to crack such a wall. Having applied my professional IT skills to this task, I didn't get far. Bravo to the programmers who made this excellent porn filter for Macs! It's probably a bit pricey (relative to PC filters; e.g., $100 vs $40), but I'm happy to acquire something so effective.)

very easy to get around
Reviewed by: Tyler, Sun Apr 24 2005
there are quite a few easy get arounds. it doesnt nothing to block anything on google image search. with the filter on it still returned images of sex.jpeg and porn.jpeg. when seaching for questionable material on a general search, it did a decent enough job. i geuss it is only good at blocking the pre determined sites, but does nothing to filter the content of sites. it constantly missed sites with XXX, porn, sex, and other stuff that should obviously be filtered.

Not as good as it needs to be
Reviewed by: David, Fri Jun 16 2006
I have been following the progress of the team at internetfilter.com for years. They are a bright bunch. However, they have not yet made this application into the kind of sophisticated, comprehensive and effective application that would make it worth getting. I have downloaded the demo a number of times and repeatedly been disappointed. As mentioned in one review there are a number of ways around it, which makes it pointless. And its user interface leaves much to be desired.
