The parent can add the appropriate websites through the web page to permit only those sites that they consider to be appropriate. Using existing open source software and some custom application code all websites accessed are checked against an approved list appropriate to the user's age group. The parent can easily approve or override access to ensure that the child can still access sites that they may need for homework, and the parent can still use their favourite social networking sites whilst still protecting younger children. Running on the Raspberry Pi (a low cost, low power computer) it keeps a watch on the sites your children visit to make sure they don't stray to an inappropriate website.

I am also concerned about some of the material on the Internet and the risk to my wallet if they inadvertantly purchased goods online through an app store or one-click online shop. It is left here for historical reasons and for anyone that is still running the code, but will not have any future updates based on teh current codebase.Īs a parent of two children I want my kids to be able to access the Internet to allow them to learn and play. KidSafe is no longer under active development.
