Net Guardian
If you are looking for the most advanced filtering system available on the market, then Net Guardian is the answer.
Among the millions of websites on the net are thousands of potentially offensive sites. Unfortunately this material often finds its way into our homes often through very subtle means.
The statistics are alarming with about 1000 out of every 1200 new websites found every day containing pornography.
Net Guardian is a highly effective filtering system ideal for families that want to protect their children accessing potentially harmful sites while surfing the net.
As the Internet is filtered at the source by the ISP (Maxnet) it makes it fast and easy for you to use.
When you access the Internet and request a url (web address), the system checks the url against a database of undesirable sites within 1000th of a second. If it finds a match, it blocks access to the site.
At Maxnet, we scan Internet sites 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We also have a team of technicians who physically access sites to check their nature and identify the need for blocking.
We make it really easy for you. There is no software to install and no updates for you to maintain. You can also choose the filtering service that best suits your needs.
Besides blocking undesirable sites the service comes with a search engine foul word filter, password protection and automatic updates.
Prices start at $3.50 per month - for the full range of Net Guardian options available to you, click here.
The Net Guardian Service is available on all our DASH UBS Plans but is not available on our DASH WBS Plan. If you are unsure if it is available to you, please give us a call on 0800 MAXNET.
It's estimated that in a typical company, employees are wasting anywhere from 10-30% of their online time engaging in "cyber slacking" (activities completely unrelated to business). This can include chat rooms, job hunts, sports sites and many more.
As a conservative estimate, the cost to your company is likely to be in the thousands. Not to mention the bandwidth being wasted on unproductive activity.
The good news is that you have options. With Net Guardian, you can minimise the time employees spend on inappropriate sites and maximise productivity. It's a simple service to use and, depending on the size of your business, can cost as little as $3.50 per month.
Educational institutions have kept up with the rapid increase in iIternet use by school age children and most offer some form of Internet access for their pupils. Usually this is in a controlled environment however often teachers are unable to monitor all pupils at the same time.
Net Guardian acts like a second pair of eyes, ensuring that sites that are potentially offensive are not viewed by pupils during school hours. This protects the child as well as the school from potential breach of Internet usage policy and provides peace of mind to parents while their children are not under their own supervision.
