Blocked sites on your computer? Watch out for 'proxy' sites kids are using to unblock these sites!

Lets just say im a big fan of the parental controls on our family computer. I have quite a few websites I won't allow my children on. My two youngest came to me and told me that my oldest daughter was on a site they knew I had blocked. I thought "that's impossible!" I checked the history on my account (because of course the history was erased on the guest account), and there were a ton of proxie sites along with sites I have blocked. I had no clue there was such a thing! I tried blocking the proxy sites I saw, but apparently they come out with new sites everyday! How frustrating!

We use the Norton parental control one, and its awesome, it emails me every site they go to if its allowed or not.

I am sorry I can not help you but please let me know how you use parental controls as I have no clue and would like to utilize them.
