Google Image Search
I was testing out the capabilities of my new firewalla blue plus and added all the porn blocking, safe search on and family protect. I also found I had to add porn block to each individual device as well.
In microsoft edge I found that google safe search does not always apply and it is still possible to get some explicit images. So there is a little warning for the parents there!
To keep my kids safe it would seem I have to block google.com entirely.
Are there any tips on managing microsoft edge? (since I read it is almost impossible to get rid of in windows 10)
-
There are two kinds of blocks in firewalla
- DNS based: family mode, ad blocker, safe search
- Data Path Blocks: porn / gaming / video ... (under device or device group)
If your browser uses DoH (DNS over HTTPS), it will encrypt DNS and bypass DNS based controls. (We are experimenting with something that may turn off this behavior, but that's experimental).
The Data Path Blocks should work even if DoH is used, this is the reason under device configuration of "porn block" for example, will work all the time.
