Email & Internet Restrictions

You can allow older children to use email and still block all other internet (i.e. website access) if you wish. You can limit your child’s contact list (i.e. those to whom they can send and receive email from) by adding specific email addresses to the “Allowed Contacts” list in the “People” tab of the “Parental Controls” settings panel. (Website access is allowed/disallowed in the “Web” tab of the “Parental Controls” settings panel.)

Covenant Eyes (Accountability & Filter)

Covenant Eyes filters and sends reports, but the main idea behind this app is to promote accountability to another person. By sending web usage reports to another individual, it provides an opportunity to have a discussion on proper internet usage. Covenant Eyes has apps for Windows, Android, MacOS, and iOS.
